Hey Dmitry,
What do you think about Arista 7280SR (DCS-7280SR-48C6-M-R) as a BGP peering router with 3 x upstream with full route view in RIB (ipv4 + ipv6) and another IXP feed? Considering switching from ASR9001 which is doing perfect work but has no more ports left. The price is very competitive comparing to MX or ASR and this router-switch have 48x10Gig + 6x100GigE ports.
You should compare 7280SR against NCS5500 and PTX1k, not ASR and MX. ANET is great company, with great people, but they are like 2 years old in SP market and this is quite visible. It is impressive though what they've done in so little time. -- ++ytti
