Old Vyatta on a Dell R710 with Intel GE NICs has been rock solid (OSPF and full BGP tables) up to ~ 4Gb/s or 300kpps. Vyos does pretty well too.

I think Im just going to try my luck at a 2u pentium II bare metal with some nice old nic cards and run native linux os for routing LOL :)
This should be fun

e7 is the platform, the -2 is how many cards it holds. It's a 1U box. There's also the e7-20 which is a big like 8u or something.

e7 holds cards.

The cards are AE ports (like 12 or 16?) or GPON4/GPON8 which hold 4/8 GPON plugs (look like SFP but I don't think they're technically SFP). They also have SFP+ and QSFP to talk to the rest of the network, like your upstream 10G internet pipe.

As someone who is Calix-stupid, can you tell me the E7-2 is doing for you?

DHCP and NAT are something so damn simple I can't imagine why you'd do Juniper for those. Be way cheaper to run a Pi.

Chuck I'd comfortably say you'll be fine with rb4011 or CCR passing traffic as I'm doing it. Just like anything else, you only hear about the complaints.

If you want to start doing multiple upstream with full tables BGP I would go to Juniper. We just finally switched our edge routing to Juniper and it really should have been a couple years ago.Â

Router(s) feeding Calix E7-20
DHCP
DNS
What else do I need?
Router based NAT or server based NAT?
Server based router?
Â
Like to keep it simple but fully redundant.Â
Â
(All the infrastructure, DC, building, Generator, hvac etc etc is easy, not asking about any of that).Â
Â
A pair of routers for redundancy. I was just going to call Dennis and say “fix me up” but I am a bit gun shy about MT anymore. Thinking Juniper but nobody here has much experience with programing edge/core routing irrespective of the brand of router.Â
Â
Anyone want to consult on this and do our router setup?
