Hi Ross,

Not sure that Henning will give more details on this. I understand that 
prefer not to, witch is fine.

He did provide most of what you are asking here however.

Sun 4150, you can get the spec on that box. Not to many processor choise 
there, so even the slowest one will be good.

Ram, he said as close as 1Gb only and network cards, use em. Many Sun 
use that be default, not all the time but many.


For the chipset, well, the DMESG would help to get that, but sadly they 
changed time to time, so not sure you will always get the same anyway. (;<

I have the 4100, not the 4150, I can send you that if you want, but not 
the same hardware obviously.

I was more curious about other component of the setup to do it right, 
but sadly I am not sure my questions were well received. I was more 
interested on what some users and specially Henning as he is involved in 
bgpd a lots as to what filtering a BGP setup would/could use to make it 
better. Not sure he is welling to offer more details, witch is totally 
fine really, I can understand not wanted to do so.

I hope this gives you some anywar to some of your questions never the less.

Best,

Daniel
