If you require full BGP tables it will radically change the routers available to you, as many of the cavium based and Broadcom based cheap routers cannot handle more than 256k TCAM entries. Global routing tables IPv4+IPv6 are well over 600k routes these days.
There are several commodity linux based software routers that are capable of 10G and cheap, but I don’t know if I would bet the bank on them. Both Juniper and Cisco have small 1U/2U devices currently that support both full tables and a large quantity of 10G ports using custom silicon. Some grey market inventory available, especially on the Juniper side. -PK From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TJ Trout Sent: Friday, February 05, 2016 3:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] 10G router(s) with redundancy? What are some options for 10G capable routers that won't break the bank that have 3+ 10G ports? Was planning two ccr1072 with ibgp but maybe I should be considering something else ? Also what are some models of 10G switches (sfp+) that have 4+ ports?
