WOW! Nokia Checkpoint runs routing protocols (other than RIP or static
routes????)
more impressive is this appliance running BGP.

On a serious note...I imagine the Nokia is in front of one of the
Cisco's....(my assumption since the poster is as vague as a capitol hill
politician)

If this is the case, then take the stinking firewall and place it behind the
router, let the routers do their Peering, and even place some Bogon-lists on
the router, and some basic bogon filtering for your ingress traffic.  (take
as much illegitimate traffic of the firewall).

But hey, does this belong in the NANOG anyway.......?

my 2 cashings!!!
