I'd avoid the 7280R for this. Works great as a P router for cheap, fast label switching, but their VRF implementation is lacking with both route-leaking and MP-BGP address family (other than standard ipv4+ipv6) support being nonexistent.

Would Arista 7280R work? Gets you 48+ 10gig and a couple QSFP ports even in the cheapest model. I believe it has the features you want. Haven’t done MPLS with it, but I’ve got some running OSPF/OSPFv3 with no issues.

Hey Nanog,
Looking for a new metroE Edge switch that has more that 10x 10G ports. I am having a hard time finding anything worthwhile without buying a full blown ASR9K Chassis or another vendor's chassis.
Requirements MEF compliant 1-2U small foot print 10G Ports will be used for ENNI's and UNI Ports Prefer MPLS support for L2VPN's (EoMPLS and VPLS) QOS per Sub interface\vlan on a ENNI Cost effect 10G Ports 100G Not required
Looking at the ASR920's - Great box for 1G but not enough 10G Ports Only 4 NCS5001/NCS5501 - New\unproven\probably buggy, Lacking some features & QOS issues :/ ASR900 - Looks good, but was hoping for a smaller foot print. If I remember right the 8x10G Cards can't go in every slot.
Any other platforms I should be looking at?
Ciena, Brocade, Juniper?
Thanks in advance!
-Erik
