I'm looking for new BGP routers. I'm currently running Mikrotik, which has served me well so far, but looking at interface speed, count, FIB size, etc. and they just aren't going to cut it.
I'm looking for: • Has at least 6x 100G ports • Has a smattering of 10G/25G ports • Has meaningful packet buffers • Routes in hardware at least 2m routes combined of IPv4 and IPv6, more is better • Has reasonably low power usage, I don't need 1 kw going to a router • Is cost-effective • Used is fine I like how the MX301 looks, but it's way more than I'd want to spend, primarily because there really isn't a used market for them yet. Arista and Cisco NCS are close, but to check all of the boxes, you're up to about $15k - $20k. To get to $5k or less, you're compromising on at least two of the things I'm looking for. EdgeCore and UfiSpace may have some models that are in the $5k - $8k range, once you purchase OcNOS. I'd have no problem with the EdgeCore and UfiSpace direction, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything out of consideration. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/ANH4UUU6K3CMCSWSBHAALWTYLHK32OGG/
