Based on your requirements I would say it breaks down something like
this...
ASR 1K - can do all nicely if loaded up with enough memory for 7 BGP
tables
7600/6500 - possible scale issues with 7 full tables
7304 NSE-100 - possible scale issues with 7 full tables. may be
missing required features. i.e TE FRR
7200 NPE-G2 - may not handle traffic rate(high rate of small packets
is a problem)
ASR 1K is your best bet

Clinging to a budget, we were looking at a pair 7304/NSE-100 linked
by STM4 in-between and taking a total of 7 full BGP feeds through FE/
GE uplinks on the edges. Other features we wish to enable are: MPLS
TE, VRF, PW, ACLs, iBGP and OSPF.
From the shiny sheet, NSE could handle up to 3.5 Mpps at 64. Also
says it can push 4Gbps bidirectional.
Wary of getting small-sized packet floods of 49B or less, I'm not
quite sure if those boxes will be able to forward very small packets
without issues.
Am I looking at the right boxes or it must be the big ones (ASR1K
and 6K/76xx/12K)? As much as possible, we'd love to stick with
Cisco. Any relevant good/bad experiences on 7304's would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
