I was thinking more, ASR1000 series. Will do wire rate, has a large enough control plane to handle multiple full tables to customers, is the natural progression from the 7200-VXR platform, e.t.c.
I second (third?) the ASR 1002 suggestion. @ list price the 5Gbps ASR 1002 is only a few $k more than the 7206VXR w/ the NPE-G2 or the 7201. It has 5x the backplane to boot plus it's hardware forwarding. The only real downside IMHO is that the unit uses SPAs which require SmartNets per SPA (per license and per a lot of other things for that matter too). Still it's a much better box for a little bit more up front. I plan on replacing my 7206 border routers with ASR 1002 or 1004s when the time comes.
