Xtreme x480 can do this and has upto 6 * 10G ports. It can actually hold a full bgp table also and is preatty cheap. // Andreas Med vänlig hälsning Andreas Larsen IP-Only Telecommunication AB| Postadress: 753 81 UPPSALA | Besöksadress: S:t Persgatan 6, Uppsala | Telefon: +46 (0)18 843 10 00 | Direkt: +46 (0)18 843 10 56 www.ip-only.se -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: randal k [mailto:nanog@data102.com] Skickat: den 6 januari 2014 18:57 Till: NANOG list Ämne: 10gbps peering subscriber switch recommendation Good morning, We're in the market to move our IX peering off of our core (too much BGP/CPU :-/ ) and onto a dedicated switch. Anybody have a recommendation on a switch that can do the following without costing a fortune? I have scoured Cisco, and bang for the buck is ... ASR9k (way over powered for handling zero-feature IX traffic), 3-8x 10gbps ports 64k routes minimum, preferably 128k Must be able to speak BGP Native/functional IPv6 would be sharp! Basic QoS to police our ports The prefix count seems to be the killer, as our exchange table is getting pretty big (42k+ currently). I'm really tempted to build a vyatta box or similar, but would rather do something off the shelf -- especially if it can be 1-2 gens old and cost effective. I'm certain that this same situation is scratching many other folks as exchanges become more important. Thanks for your input in advance -- stay warm! Randal
