Large hosting network Layout / equiptment

Based on another post in the colo forum I kinda thought I would gather peoples opinions on this.

At what point do you move to a core - edge network layout.

Core - edge meaning that your gateways for servers are on one unit, be it layer3 switch or an internal router of some type, and then one router as a network gateway.

Most of us start by using our DataCenter or upstream as our gateway, then eventualy migrate to our own router and at some point we go to a core - edge type of layout.

At what point did you move / are you planning to?

Whats your current network Layout?

How many servers per Vlan etc... Or IPs / vlan?

As much info as you are willing to share.
Could be a fun thread for the networking people here..
