Hi. Would recommend taking a look at: Arista DCS-7280SR-48C6 (6x 100G + 48x 10G SFP+) available at around USD 2,000 (eBay) Arista DCS-7280QR-C36 (12x 100G + 24x 40G (can be split to 4x10, or use QSFP-SFP+ adapters for single SFP+) available for around USD 1,800 (eBay) There is many more models available. Arista is good HW, supports MPLS and VXLAN. --- -------------------------- 100TB.se Dedicated servers for all! On 2025-03-02 22:16, john doe wrote:
Hi!
I’m looking for equipment to build a 100G MPLS/SR network. This won’t be a large setup—likely around six PE routers connected in a 100G ring, with distances ranging from 100 km to 400 km. These routers will also need to aggregate local links from 10G up to 100G. They don't need to carry a full table.
Given that I’m aiming to keep costs down (an impossible equation? 😊), what manufacturers would be worth considering today?
Is refurbished hardware still a viable option, considering licensing and other factors?
Mikrotik’s CCR line is quite affordable, but would it be capable of handling a PE role while aggregating multiple link speeds? Buffering?
Other options?
