Cisco and Juniper alone are the reining champs of the high-end routing world. Foundry and Nortel are simply not even considered. Right now, the Cisco CRS-1 is considered the best equipment available. Regardless, talking about super high-end routers when Mike is only looking for a few 10 GigE ports is silly. A Cisco 6500/7600 with sup720-3bxl along with your 10 GigE card of choice is typically what is deployed today. There is a newer option from Cisco using one of the ASR series routers. Those will cost you roughly $25k to get started in any reasonable configuration. Whereas the sup720-3bxl option will likely cost you only $25k well equiped with a variety of ports. I would guess a sup720-3bxl platform with 48 10/100/1000 ports, 48 SFP ports, and 4 10 GigE ports would run about $30k used. It is worth noting that the sup720-3bxl has enough TCAM to support up to 1 million routes and has a backplane that can support 720Gbps. -Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
