Hi,
Thanks for all the replies.
I think the options that came up are:
- Mikrotiks
This fits my requirements pretty nicely, however as Mike pointed out the
single threaded BGP is a bit of concern. Also, just that I'm not a very big
fan of the /xxx Mikrotik CLI.
- EdgeRouter Pros, Juniper M7i
- A server with bgpd running
- Cisco 4300-4400 series
Both the above would work nicely.
- Cisco 2900s
Can these handle full BGP tables as of today?
- Juniper MXs
The reason I wrote M7i instead of the MX was I far as I looked on the Juniper
site, it seems to use more power than the M7i (though you get more performance).
- Nokia IXR-R6 (not IXR-6)
- Huawei NE20E-S2E
I need to look these up. I'm guessing the Nokia has same CLIs as Alcatels.
Thanks,
Adam
