A little bit overkill in term of number of ports but you can consider the new Trident 2 switches Juniper EX-5100, Cisco Nexus 3100 ..... They have unified TCAM that can store 128K v4 routes Nitzan On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 9:43 PM, Mark Tinka <mark.tinka@seacom.mu> wrote:

except qos (which needs switch port buffer space). There are no cheap 10G boxes on the market at the moment which have reasonable numbers of 10G ports and reasonable sized.

FIB space requirements in a switch are also going to limit your options.
Also, many "non-service provider" switches don't do egress policing (they might do shaping, but then if the buffers are small...).
