I had a fun converstation the other day... The consultant advisor's optinion was the Linux should be replaced with Cisco, on the merit that a soultion was needed that was well known, so investors would feel more comfortable knowing that operating the network didn't have to rely on me. Then we discussed to operate the Cisco, we would need to hire a $150k per year Cisco engineer, at a cost 4x above the previous year's operating cost. So I responded questioning the consultant, "so you are saying we need build a network that relies on a high salary individual other than I? So then if the network breaks, I'd be helpless, and I'd be in deep trouble, if the Network engineer quit or asked for another raise? The advise didn't sit well with me, and it had nothing to do with a technology comparison of the two products types, and I in no way mean to downplay the value of Cisco.
My point here is... The most effective router is really the one that the user is most familiar with. It doesn't matter how powerful the Cisco, Juniper and foundry are, if you and your techs dont know how to operate them, when you need to on a moments notice. Its really about, which selection will allow you to more easilly and speedily resolve the task at hand. Its amazing how a $400 Linux Box (such as MIkrotik) can quickly solve a problem. With that said, We've been looking into Juniper lately, I like that their new lines are all based on the same Juno OS, which is Linux. :-) So, my recommendation is... What are you familiar with? Use that. I'm not familiar with the Juniper model and foundry products listed to know if that is a good product to keep or not. What I will say is, if uysing MIktotik, you want to consider more than jsut number of subs. What speed is the Internet backbone the MT would connect to? How would you plan to use the Mikrotik, from a protocol feature perspective? A MT1100 will easilly push 100mb FDX traffic. But if you plan on having a lot of queuing and rules (x200 users), it can be slowed down very quickly. In those cases, its worth paying an extra $200-$400, to upgrade to one of the faster CPUcore type third party hardware models, such as sold by Baltic, Titan, or LinkTechnologies. A Dual core INtel 1.5G-2.4Ghz CPU model are very affordble and adds some horsepower for using MT features.
