My Ascend Pipeline 50 has been giving headaches lately . 1. It seems that heavy UDP traffic seems to clobber Ascend routers. For instance, mbone traffic . The problem was reported to Ascend and it looks like that they are having buffer management problems . The problem has been alleviated with the latest software release however it is still there with less frequency. 2. On my Ascend Pipeline 50 if I connect a second machine to my network it kills my Ascend Pipeline 50 . I have the single user license model however it should route my packets given that I am talking to the router via one ethernet interface. About a year ago , I asked Ascend if this would work and they said "Yes". Overall, it is a good router and has serve me well for over a year. I am waiting for Whistle.com to release their FreeBSD router which in my opinion is a more suitable router at least for my environment since it can handle mail / ftp / http , etc...
