Hi, Thanks for all the replies. I think the options that came up are: - Mikrotiks This fits my requirements pretty nicely, however as Mike pointed out the single threaded BGP is a bit of concern. Also, just that I'm not a very big fan of the /xxx Mikrotik CLI. - EdgeRouter Pros, Juniper M7i - A server with bgpd running - Cisco 4300-4400 series Both the above would work nicely. - Cisco 2900s Can these handle full BGP tables as of today? - Juniper MXs The reason I wrote M7i instead of the MX was I far as I looked on the Juniper site, it seems to use more power than the M7i (though you get more performance). - Nokia IXR-R6 (not IXR-6) - Huawei NE20E-S2E I need to look these up. I'm guessing the Nokia has same CLIs as Alcatels. Thanks, Adam ---- On Mon, 04 Dec 2017 11:19:14 -0800 Adam Lawson <adlawson@zoho.com> wrote ----
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
