So, from the sounds of it most are saying for low cost, the way to go would be a software router, which I was trying to avoid. To answer the bandwidth question, we would have three 10G ports with three different carriers and at max push 10Gbps of total traffic to start.
I think this leaves me with hardware routers that can support full BGP tables. So, who actually sells full bgp routers. So far on my list I have: Juniper MX Series Brocade MLXe or CER Cisco ASR 9K Huawei NE40E-X1-M4 ZTE, not sure which model? ALU 7750 Besides the above, am I missing anyone else that makes a true carrier grade hardware router?
