2 x full BGP feeds over 1Gb/s ports with a third Gb port for the local network?
For new hardware, I would look at the Juniper M or MX series (depending on your needs) or, if you are wanting Cisco, the ASR series is what to look for. The Juniper routers are going to be less expensive per performance.
I use both ASR and MX80 in my environment. If your needs are only a few ge interfaces then I would recommended the ASR1002. If you need a few more interfaces, look the the new MX80-5G bundle or the standard MX80 with a 20 port MIC. Adding capacity to the ASR gets exponential especially going up to 10G. -b -- Bill Blackford Network Engineer Logged into reality and abusing my sudo privileges.....
