On the subject of route reflection, I've run into a few people happy with Quaggo or openBGPd on intel hardware. You can throw a 1U box together with dual PSUs, a bunch of ram, and SSD/CF disks for far less than a C or J setup and won't be wasting money on ASICs you aren't using. If I recall correctly this is what Any2 was using when I spoke to them some years ago, but perhaps someone here can offer more specifics.
I use these: http://www.mikrotikrouter.net/ I just toss the Mikrotik CF card aside, and replace it with a USB thumb drive running FreeBSD/Quagga. For upgrades/testing, I just dd one stick to another, and load up the system in a lab box, do my work, and then reload the router with the upgraded, known working stick. Steve
