Hey, I've been bit poking around trying to find reasonable option for 1GE L3 full BGP table aggregator. It seems vendors are mostly pushing Satellite/Fusion for this application. I don't really like the added complexity and tight coupling Satellite/Fusion forces me. I'd prefer standards based routing redundancy to reduce impact of defects. ASR9001 and MX104 are not an options, due to control-plane scale. New boxes in vendor pipeline are completely ignoring 1GE. I've casually talked with other people, and it seems I'm not really alone here. My dream box would be 96xSFP + 2xQSFP28, with pretty much full edge features (BGP, LDP, ISIS, +1M FIB, +5M RIB, per-interface VLANs, ipfix or sflow, at least per-port QoS with shaper, martini pseudowires). With tinfoil hat tightly fit on my head, I wonder why vendors are ignoring 1GE? Are business cases entirely driven now by Amazon, Google, Facebook and the likes? Are SP volumes so insignificant in comparison it does not make sense to produce boxes for them? Heck even 10GE is starting to become problematic, if your application is anything else than DC, because you can't choose arbitrary optics. -- ++ytti
