Yeah, MT and ImageStream really don't have anything to offer when really
pushing 10 gig interfaces. We'll be needing them before too much longer!

I have used Imagestream routers in what I would consider carrier

feeds and Gigs of traffic per second. Not saying it's a do all
solution, but is a serious contender. Add on top the fact you don't
need $1000's of dollars a year for smartnet I am happy. Not saying
it's your solution, but definitely worth looking at.

I would like to ask for help of wireless community.
We have to choose supplier of core router for our WISP projects. I
know technical characteristics and price for core routers from Cisco
- 7200 and 7600 series. Although these models have impressive
possibilities, their price is very prohibitive for small/medium
projects. Which models of core router do use in your projects? I
would like to get your recommendations, its advantages and
disadvantages. Would like to know some cheap and middle-price options.
It comes down to the feature set you need and the performance
required. Can you share your expected traffic numbers and what
features you want to run?
The cisco 7200 is a bit long in the tooth, the 7600 is the way to go
forward. Each can be found on the secondary market for cheap. From a
new device purchase decision, it's hard to beat the Juniper SRX series
for smaller deployments. a $1500 router can handle 300 mbit/s of
IP/mpls and firewall in hardware is hard to beat. The new MX series
can handle 80gb/slot and its the next big competition to the 7600 from
cisco. Junos is amazing to work with compared to IOS too.
However if you do need multiple line rate 10gb/s interfaces, the ALU
7750/7710 should be considered too.
I'd not consider the Imagestream product as it's not a serious carrier
contender. As of two years back they just did not have a product, and
bowed out of an RFP I was forced into running. It's a neat small
office router, but that's all.
Again this is all my opinion :)
