Not anywhere near a new MX960 in price, but the previous generation of ASR9000 linecards (Trident) are remarkably inexpensive on the grey market. The main limitations are two things: Power hungry and hot, and the maximum 1.2 million routes (combined ipv4 and ipv6).
If you can plan for replacement before ipv4 and ipv6 get near that number, it's possible to build a complete ASR9006 or ASR9010 from grey market modular components for under $12k. ipv6 FIB size is around 28,000 right now, ipv4 is pushing 580,000. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/116726-qanda-product-00.html Now, a typhoon based ASR90xx, that's $$$$$$ On Sat, Feb 6, 2016 at 8:38 AM, Paul Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > No but the really interesting thing about this list (besides lots of great > folks) is that there are some who do buy MX960… often companies that are a > WISP but also have DSL, cable, FTTH etc as well so it’s interesting > conversation for sure.. > > > > J > > > > Paul > > > > > > *From:* Af [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Mike Hammett > *Sent:* Saturday, February 6, 2016 10:55 AM > *To:* [email protected] > > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] 10G router(s) with redundancy? > > > > Most of us aren't buying MX960s. ;-) > > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions <http://www.ics-il.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> > <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> > <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> > Midwest Internet Exchange <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> > <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> > The Brothers WISP <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> > > > <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> > ------------------------------ > > *From: *"Josh Reynolds" <[email protected]> > *To: *[email protected] > *Sent: *Saturday, February 6, 2016 9:43:16 AM > *Subject: *Re: [AFMUG] 10G router(s) with redundancy? > > I agree, but that can get very expensive. > > On Feb 6, 2016 9:42 AM, "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> wrote: > > The best form of redundancy is two separate units with no dependency on > each other. > > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions <http://www.ics-il.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> > <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> > <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> > Midwest Internet Exchange <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> > <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> > The Brothers WISP <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> > <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> > > > <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> > ------------------------------ > > *From: *"TJ Trout" <[email protected]> > *To: *[email protected] > *Sent: *Friday, February 5, 2016 5:38:40 PM > *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?
