Exactly, 40g ports in telco are like sasquatches.. You need to choose between multiple 10G or 100G. Ill go MX80 for multiple 10G or MX240 for 100G, the MX204 is a great piece of gear but it lacks redundant REs…

Every time this comes up on NANOG the concensus is to get a Juniper MX204 (20k+). If you don't need full tables, get an Arista 7050 for about a grand. > I suppose I can build a beefy x86 with a pci-e 40g card? Purportedly Netgate's TSNR will do this. $400 per 10G of throughput per year. If you don't want to pay for a product, I guess you can spitball something together with FRR, VPP/DPDK. Nothing that routes with the kernel will do 10G+ at wirespeed PPS. BTW, why do you want to do 40G? Nobody I know will sell you transit at 40G. It's 10G or 100G.
