It is worth mentioning for those who have not seen a Ubiquiti "edgrouter" in person yet, or worked with one, where their operating system came from... When Vyatta was acquired by Brocade, the core Vyatta team jumped ship and were hired directly by Ubiquiti. When you SSH into one of these whether it's a $45 Edgerouter-X or a $300 unit, it is a Debian based CLI and is very obviously a fork of Vyatta. The entire system file tree and package mangement system is all Debian. On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Mel Beckman <mel@beckman.org> wrote:
The Edgerouter Pro 8 meets all your specs. It's 1U, has eight GigE ports, including two SFP/combo ports, can take full IPv4 and IPv6 tables, and only consumes 40 watts (about half an amp at 120V). About $300.

Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions on 1U-2U sized router with 1G interface
which can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 full BGP table and doesn't consume
too much power.
The router needs to be squeezed in to a rack which doesn't
have a lot of space nor power. As for space, maybe I can make
space for 3U or 4U but as for power, I can only do around
1.5A@100V on average. (There is room for burst power usage.)
The following are the one's I can think of:
- Juniper M7i with C-FEB-E (base 1.59A)
- Brocade CER2024F (1.35A)
- Mikrotik CCR, UBNT EdgeRouter Pro/Infinity
- A server with Vyos, vMX or ASR1000v
Does anyone have other recommendations?
Thanks,
Adam
