"2 NIC module slots supporting 1/10/40G/Fiber/Copper/Bypass" Get one of those with a server class processor and and it's a server that looks like a spiffy network appliance. Very general purpose if general purpose is what you need, quagga / openbgpd on bsd, yes. And you can bake additional services onto it. M.

As for the microtics, wonky user interface, so very unciscolike (i guess thats my problem - but the GUI thing feels like a toy), but for their midrange models I found their bgp convergence times pretty poor on their low end cpus... What do you put on the lanner? OpenBGPd? Quagga? Also looking for a 10G solution here, low power (than a full ASR stack..) is my goal for 5-6 full bgp feeds. /kc On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 07:45:39PM -0400, Michael Brown said:
Not *exactly* what you're asking for, but a Lanner appliance (???http://www.lannerinc.com/products/network-appliances/x86-rackmount-network-a...) might suit your needs.

Hello masters of the Internet,
I was recently asked to set up networking at a VIP's home where he has Comcast "Gigabit Pro" service, which is delivered on a 10G-SR MM port on a Comcast-supplied Juniper ACX-2100 router.
Which customer router would you suggest for such a setup? It needs to do IPv4 NAT, DHCP, IPv4+IPv6 routing and have a decent L4 firewall (that also supports IPv6).
The customer pays for "2Gb" service (Comcast caps this at 2G+10% = 2.2Gbps) and would like to get what he pays for (*cough*) by having the ability to stream two 1Gbps streams (or at least achieve > 1.0Gbps).
I'm tempted to get another ACX-2100 and do a 4x1Gb LACP port-channel to the customer switch, or replace the AV-integrator-installed Cisco SG300-52P (Cisco switch with e.g. an EX-3300 with 10Gb uplinks).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
