Thx. Rather steer clear of microtik for now however. Guess I shoulda mentioned a baseline 10G capability at least on 4 sfp+ ports (I know there's some 2port Microtiks too). Everyone's got gig-to-the-home now, I can't see how anyone plans 1G PE builds anymore. They'll be obsolete by the time they're plugged in (10G for any medium sized op is almost obsolete already.) /kc On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 02:32:14PM -0500, Jared Mauch said:

Back to this discussion! :) Arista as a viable full-table PE router. Was hoping for better experience reports since last mention.
To make the Q bit more general, are there any PE routers yet that can handle 3-8 full feeds and use an amp and 1U or so instead of 5 and 4U? Or we're ito whitebox/ open routers still for that (bird/openbgp?) or microtiks?
The 7280 is likely what you???re looking at. Lots of folks also use MikroTik as well if the traffic is in the 1G range or so.
I for one use Arista for Layer3 for FTTH purposes as it gives me good software/hardware support for my features.
