1280.0. "The better bridge. RA or DB90/db90 or D" by LIE495::CITRON (Marty - NY PSC Network Consultant) Fri Mar 07 1997 12:54

    Can someone tell me if the DB90 can handle remote bridging
    of 56KBPS lines?  I am trying to determine if Routeabout or
    DECbrouter will be the better performer.  I realize that 56KB is my
    throttle, but wonder if a preference remains.     can the 2 line DB90
    handle 2 bridged circuits at 56KBPS?  Should I stay with 1 line per
    module?
    
    At the central site there will be either 6 DB90-t2 or a DECNIS 500
    I fear teh DECNIS may not handle 12 bridged 56kbps lines as well as
    multiple DB90's.  
    
    Comments welcome

 Hi Marty,

 Either the DECbrouter or the RouteAbout EW will bridge 56kb out
 both WAN ports. See Note # 31 for Multiprotocol and Note # 107. for
 Bridged DECbrouter performance data. Unfortunately I don't have
 a pointer to the RouteAbout numbers but you may find them in the
 IROCZ::COMMON_BROUTERS conference.
