Need recommendation on an affordable internet edge router

Dear All

I would add the Brocade MLXe-4/8/16 (Soon to be Extreme) to the list depending how many ports you need.

The 20 x 10G X2 line cards support up to 2 million routes, well worth looking at.

Kindest Regards,

Having all of these somewhere in our network, and my heart being with JNPR boxes, I'll say have a look at Huawei offerings.
