10g on asr1k is generally not a cost effective proposition. The OP has not provided any indication of bandwidth requirements other than "more than 1Gbps of traffic", nor overall budget, nor technical requirements (policy, mpls, etc). So there is probably a requirement for 10G ports, but other than that it's not clear. If the requirement is to do this on the cheap, a brocade CER2000 will probably work, but it won't scale due to the fact that it only has 4x10G ports and cannot be expanded. If it's only a couple of gbit/sec, then maybe a csr1000v on good quality hardware would work. It would probably require some tuning work to get reasonable performance out of it, though. Otherwise a cisco asr9001 or a juniper mx104 would probably be the best options. The forwarding capabilities of these two units are comparable, but the asr9k1 RP is much faster than the current mx104 RE. I.e. BGP convergence is much better.
