That is why I'm testing the 1072.. Currently I have two old MaxxWaxe x86 routers. One connected to each of my upstreams. I have 2 Internet connections and an IX connection at each upstream. We are currently upgrading our upstream's to 100G connections. So I had to introduce a switch to handle the 100G from each upstream.
The plan is to have 3 BGP routers (maybe 1072) connected to the switch. Each router will peer with one provider from each upstream. The plan is even if one upstream goes down and all the traffic gets pushed to a single upstream, I will still be sharing the load across 3 BGP routers.

| The easiest route and probably still the least expensive is just get two CCR 1072 units, one for each 10Gbps upstream and make them both BGP upstream and BGP to each other. That’s what our configuration is right now. 1072 units take a while to learn full tables, but having two with full tables means I can down one for maintenance any time and then let it rebuild, then down the other one and rebuild without network down time. Like everyone says, DO NOT RUN CONNECTION TRACKING on the 1072 units, period. We just use them for our BPG, iBGP and OSPF routing core. Everything else is running 1036 or 2004 for 10Gbps CGNAT and management IPv4 nat (that handles the conn tracking just fine for a couple Gigabit each).

I'd probably want at least 3 or 4 SFP+ ports. The CCR1072 comes to mind, but I've read horror stories relating to this model, so I'm looking at other options. Those of you that use Juniper or Cisco, what would you recommend? I'd probably be buying gray-market on these brands due to the price. Thanks.
