Don't know your traffic flows so ... A 6504 with a Sup32 -10 is a pretty efficient little box. put in a secondary sup card and you have 4 x 10 Gb all active at the same time get a 12 port GBIC based line card and you can do any flavor of GigE you want as well.
or use regular sup32s and a 6704 line card which I think will handle around 32 or 33 Gb total. Both of these solutions will run you about 1/3 of the ASR 1004 cost [the sup32 & 6704 solution is even a little less .. ] and will work pretty well for anything I can think of; I use them to feed multiple Nexus 5Ks and will soon pump data over to a set of UCS chassis. Just make all of your ports /30 point to point L3s interfaces and you will never know you aren't sitting in front of a "real" router. > Message: 5 > Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 09:36:59 +0200 > From: Hank Nussbacher <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [c-nsp] Looking for router recommendation to handle 10GE > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed > > I am looking for a router (not switch) recommendation (upgrade from > 7204VXR).
