Hi, No, MX104 is very much not enough with full tables.
Of course, you have you ask yourself if you *really* need full tables. If you have a couple of upstream providers, is that really necessary, or can you instead take a default and significantly cut your costs? There’s a handful of networks in NZ who can benefit meaningfully from full tables. Peering routes, a default, maybe accepting a few specific paths you care about, is more than enough for most networks here. MX204 are great little boxes. They can certainly handle full tables well. You might also consider software solutions. 10G is very manageable in software these days. > On 9/08/2019, at 11:37 AM, Joseph Otico <joseph.ot...@dtsanz.com> wrote: > > MX104 should already be enough > > > Joseph > > > From: nznog-boun...@list.waikato.ac.nz <nznog-boun...@list.waikato.ac.nz> On > Behalf Of Mehmet Akcin > Sent: Friday, August 9, 2019 07:21 > To: Phil Snowdon <phil.snow...@gmail.com> > Cc: nznog <nznog@list.waikato.ac.nz> > Subject: Re: [nznog] 2019 BGP router recommendations > > MX204 ;-) > > On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 4:17 PM Phil Snowdon <mailto:phil.snow...@gmail.com> > wrote: > Hi All, > > Looking for some recommendations for BGP edge routers. > > Have used Juniper devices for years, but interested to hear what else may be > out there.
