Low voltage server/appliance for bird.

[Mike Neo]

2-3 peers with full Internet routing table, but the number of routes and
traffic is only a matter of equipment parameters, while the key is the
manufacturer, who does things like e.g.

https://www.amazon.pl/HUNSN-Firewall-Appliance-Redundancy-RJ54k/dp/B0CST1BNL9/

It's about a good and tested supplier who delivers equipment in a quality
that guarantees failure-free operation, and not that it will stop working
after 6 months :)

Thanks
