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.

But you probably should review at least:
- Juniper MX204, MX480
- Cisco ASR9k
- Huawei NE20, NE40
- Alcatel 7750SR
Having all of these somewhere in our network, and my heart being with JNPR boxes, I'll say have a look at Huawei offerings. +Dragan On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 12:10 AM, Saku Ytti <saku@ytti.fi<mailto:saku@ytti.fi>> wrote:

Hey,
The ASR9k is certainly up to the task and it's one of the few we
looked
at
initially, but the pricing is nowhere near commodity even if we got
a minimal build.
What is commodity? Where are you comparing it to which satisfies your
requirements?
As far as volume, the initial purchase for this round of budget will
be
an
HA pair. If the solution works well, we have potential to replace 12
or
so
throughout FY17, maybe into FY18.
Yeah sales droids likely won't be interested in 2 at all. But if you
commit on those 12, even if you'll order them separately. I think
that's something sales droid will care about, and you'll have
negotiation leverage as you can keep bouncing between several vendors
seeing who gets your business.
You should really expect at least 70% discount on 12 units, 80% would
be good. Under 70% would be walk out the room.
