Small full BGP table capable router with low power consumption
Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on 1U-2U sized router with 1G interface which can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 full BGP table and doesn't consume too much power. The router needs to be squeezed in to a rack which doesn't have a lot of space nor power. As for space, maybe I can make space for 3U or 4U but as for power, I can only do around 1.5A@100V on average. (There is room for burst power usage.) The following are the one's I can think of: - Juniper M7i with C-FEB-E (base 1.59A) - Brocade CER2024F (1.35A) - Mikrotik CCR, UBNT EdgeRouter Pro/Infinity - A server with Vyos, vMX or ASR1000v Does anyone have other recommendations? Thanks, Adam
The Edgerouter Pro 8 meets all your specs. It's 1U, has eight GigE ports, including two SFP/combo ports, can take full IPv4 and IPv6 tables, and only consumes 40 watts (about half an amp at 120V). About $300. https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-pro/ -mel beckman

It is worth mentioning for those who have not seen a Ubiquiti "edgrouter" in person yet, or worked with one, where their operating system came from... When Vyatta was acquired by Brocade, the core Vyatta team jumped ship and were hired directly by Ubiquiti. When you SSH into one of these whether it's a $45 Edgerouter-X or a $300 unit, it is a Debian based CLI and is very obviously a fork of Vyatta. The entire system file tree and package mangement system is all Debian. On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Mel Beckman <mel@beckman.org> wrote:

For me the obvious answer for the OP is the Mikrotik CCR range - https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1036-8G-2Splus -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Eric Kuhnke Sent: Wednesday, 6 December 2017 6:00 AM To: nanog@nanog.org list <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: Small full BGP table capable router with low power consumption
Bad thing about the CCRs is that their BGP process is single threaded. So even though it has a bunch of cores, it doesn’t utilize them for BGP. -Mike

It's a couple year old Xeon running vSphere. Once I get some other migrations done, I'll load either vSphere or Proxmox onto the hardware running the Vyatta firewall now and run a CHR there as well for a second upstream. I'm not yet sure what the underlying hardware is for that one. My x86 ROS boxes load full tables in ~30 seconds and maintain hardly any CPU core usage when pulling in updates. I've seen CCRs take 10 minutes to receive and then change routing accordingly for BGP updates (Cogent, HE and several IX peers). ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike lyon" <mike.lyon@gmail.com> To: "Mike Hammett" <nanog@ics-il.net> Cc: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Tuesday, December 5, 2017 12:35:48 PM Subject: Re: Small full BGP table capable router with low power consumption What hardware you running the CHR on?

Yea, as much as I love Juniper Hardware the M series is really a long way on the past at this point. I would suggest the new MX150 is the way to go for up to 20G requirements.

I understand that most BGP implementations are single-threaded.

Not really. There were two developers that quit Vyatta and subsequently went to Ubiquiti. And that happened long before the Brocade acquisition. The core Vyatta team is still going strong, working on the Vyatta NOS. -robert

Watch the memory requirements on a full Internet table in the Cisco 2900 series. More current model would be the Cisco 4300 - 4400 ISR series. They have 2/4/8/16 gigs of memory. Power consumption MAX ranges from 0.6A to 3.0A depending on model. Higher models have more throughput and more interfaces. Throughput ranges from 35 mbps to 2 gbps. I rarely see Cisco routers running near the max power rating especially if you are not using PoE or etherswitch interfaces. The 43xx series is replacing the 29xx series and the 44xx series is replacing the 39xx series. I've put in a few of them and they are pretty nice. They are either 1 or 2 U in size. We are using 4431 with throughput license to 1 GB receiving a full table from the provider and three IBGP peers with no issues and full gig throughput. It is currently drawing 65 watts of power in steady state and 250 watts on bootup (not using any PoE or network modules, just built in Ethernets). Steven Naslund Chicago IL

Hey Steve (or anyone else), How much RAM are you running on your 4431? We have a similar application and are trying to figure out whether to order a 4431 with the default 4GB RAM, or upgrade it proactively to 8GB to support the full BGP table.

Hi, Thanks for all the replies. I think the options that came up are: - Mikrotiks This fits my requirements pretty nicely, however as Mike pointed out the single threaded BGP is a bit of concern. Also, just that I'm not a very big fan of the /xxx Mikrotik CLI. - EdgeRouter Pros, Juniper M7i - A server with bgpd running - Cisco 4300-4400 series Both the above would work nicely. - Cisco 2900s Can these handle full BGP tables as of today? - Juniper MXs The reason I wrote M7i instead of the MX was I far as I looked on the Juniper site, it seems to use more power than the M7i (though you get more performance). - Nokia IXR-R6 (not IXR-6) - Huawei NE20E-S2E I need to look these up. I'm guessing the Nokia has same CLIs as Alcatels. Thanks, Adam ---- On Mon, 04 Dec 2017 11:19:14 -0800 Adam Lawson <adlawson@zoho.com> wrote ----

- Juniper MXs The reason I wrote M7i instead of the MX was I far as I looked on the Juniper site, it seems to use more power than the M7i (though you get more performance). The M150 has just been released, if its within the budget I wold suggest it will very nicely fit the requirement with its 1U form factor and 365W draw. - https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/mx-series/mx150/

RE-800 are so slow that I've had numerous instances where I've made a change, banged my head on the desk for several minutes trying to figure out why it isn't working, and then realize that the control plane was still thinking about it. It will take full tables though, barely, and eventually. Imagine the RE-1800s are fine, haven't used one personally. C-FEB-E should have plenty of room for your FIB. What's the application? I'll throw a somewhat oddball option out there - you can fit full tables into RIB on many Juniper EX switches. Limited use cases for sure, but it can be handy if you can limit what's installed into FIB. -- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -Kurt Cobain

Limited use cases for sure, but it can be handy if you can limit what's installed into FIB. Fixed format EX's range max out at 128k routes, definitely not an option there unless I am really missing something. I often use EX/QFX for l3, but no way they come anywhere near a full table.
