Low Cost 10G Router

Wed May 20 16:42:18 UTC 2015

So, from the sounds of it most are saying for low cost, the way to go would
be a software router, which I was trying to avoid. To answer the bandwidth
question, we would have three 10G ports with three different carriers and
at max push 10Gbps of total traffic to start.

I think this leaves me with hardware routers that can support full BGP
tables. So, who actually sells full bgp routers. So far on my list I have:
Juniper MX Series
Brocade MLXe or CER
Cisco ASR 9K
Huawei NE40E-X1-M4
ZTE, not sure which model?
ALU 7750

Besides the above, am I missing anyone else that makes a true carrier grade
hardware router?
