Hello Guys,
What about the Cisco 6880-X in this respect? Does anybody use this box as a
BGP edge in an ethernet only environment? I’m curious about the real world
performance of this box, looking at number of BGP peers, convergence, etc.
That's an x86 platform:
Cisco C6880-X-LE ( Intel(R) Core(TM) i3- CPU @ 2.00GHz )
We use them as pure Layer 2 core switches, so can't tell you how they do
running IP.
we also use them for EBGP and IBGP speakers and routing w/ MPLS.
They perform well although we are still facing some "BGP Event" spikes that we
were not yet able to track down with Cisco. Case open. Others I spoke to
use the boxes in a similar way but do not observe these problems.
Beside that, quite happy with that box although the CPU is not as fast as
in a real router like ASR9K1.
Cheers
Sascha
