My Draytek Vigor 2600, until recently the darling of network gear, is
currently in disgrace.

The reason is, I have 8 real IP addresses which I want it to route. And I
want
to use the firewall too, with the "keep state" option. Sadly, the
vigor
interprets this as "drop any connection like a hot potato if it's
transferred
more than 200k of data".

Bizarrely, NAT'd connections, for which it has to do more fiddling about,
work
fine.

According to the Draytek forums, this problem occurs for quite a few people
(but by no means all). Draytek ackonwledge the bug, their stance is
"oh yeah,
that doesn't work at all..". They may fix it "after 2.3".

So if you're considering this (otherwise very good) router, be warned.
