Device specifically made for high capacity GRE tunnels for dozens of sites
Hello, Can anyone recommend a device that will allow for multiple gigabit gre tunnels with ability to handle up to a million pps? I know it can be done on a bsd or nix box , or something running junos but Im looking for something specifically made and tailored for GRE tunnels. Thanks, Ameen
The new Cloud Core routers from Mikrotik might be able to handle this... Granted they are new, and the ROS (6.0) is not fully baked, But based on the Specs, these may have enough CPU & Ram oumph to handle what you are asking for. YMMV. Regards.

dedicate an MPC on an MX box? 10gbps of gre, weee!
mx80 (or similar) or ASR. The MX would probably be my preference for just pushing huge amounts of GRE packets and scales nicely in a single box solution. On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Christopher Morrow < morrowc.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

Another (somewhat cheaper) Juniper option if you meet its limits is the EX[34]200's which now do GRE in hardware: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.1/topics/concept/gre-tunnel-se... On 19/01/13 05:36, PC wrote:

I'd stay clear of the 34s On Jan 18, 2013 11:56 PM, "Julien Goodwin" <nanog@studio442.com.au> wrote:

Look for H3C or HP A series they do gre in hardware (I saw 5820 do 4Gbps without a problem ) Nitzan On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 8:55 AM, Julien Goodwin <nanog@studio442.com.au>wrote:

I don't think you are going to find something made just for terminating GRE tunnels but the Cisco ASR1000 and the Juniper MX5-MX80 or SRX line can do what you want. -Phil On 1/18/13 12:51 PM, "A. Pishdadi" <apishdadi@gmail.com> wrote:
