But I think RB2011 and CRS109/125 have pretty much the same CPU and memory, not sure why one the packet processing power would be different between them.
In your case with fiber, if you are delivering gigabit Internet to customers, either would probably be underpowered. Oh, and the WiFi won’t do gigabit either.

Basically if you are switching only, the CRS are ok. If you are routing, you need CPU power for connection tracking etc. So look at the CPU(s) of each model instead. The cheaper CRS units switching chips will do full line speed and high aggregate as long as the CPU doesn’t have to touch packets. Once you implement anything where the CPU is involved inspecting packets throughput drops dramatically IMO.

I think the processor and memory specs are similar if not identical. Not sure the gigabit ports are a big deal, it just always seems a mess deciding what to plug in where on a 2011. It’s like deciding which GOP candidates are relegated to the junior varsity debate. Residential users don’t even seem to want wired ports anymore, although businesses still do.

Any gotchas? Main differences I see are CRS109 has 2 less ports but they are all gigabit, plus it seems to have a fan which might be a negative in some environments. Slightly different form factor, and a little more expensive. Also do I remember some people saying they were experiencing a high failure rate on CRS109? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
