of these for IPng Networks. I'm now ready to roll out these switches and create a BGP-free core
network for IPng Networks. If this kind of thing tickles your fancy, by all means read on :)

I've decided to make this the direction of IPng's core network -- I know that the specs of the
Centec switches I've bought will allow for a modest but not huge amount of routes in the hardware
forwarding tables. I loadtested them in [[a previous article]({% post_url 2022-12-05-oem-switch-1
%})] at line rate (well, at least 8x10G at 64b packets and around 110Mpps), so they were forwarding

both IPv4 and MPLS traffic effortlessly, and at 45 Watts I might add! However, they clearly cannot
operate in the DFZ for two main reasons:
