Once upon a time support@granite.cyg.net shaped the electrons to say...
>We will be needing a Sync router shortly and I was curious.
>Why would I purchase a IRX over a Office Router that supports T1.

1. Expandablity. The OR-HS is fixed, the IRX-111 can have ports added.
2. RAM. OR-HS fixed at 1 Meg, IRX goesto 16 Meg. If your routing tables
won't fit in 1 Meg, you can't use the OR.
3. BGP. The IRX will support BGP, the OR will not be supporting BGP.

The OR is engineered to be a stub router, the IRX is designed for more
demanding applications.
