I'd say within 18 months, I'll be looking for a solution with a half dozen 10GigE (with a half dozen to dozen GigE) and can pass through at least 30 gigabit full duplex. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 7/6/2011 3:08 PM, Dennis Burgess wrote: We have units in stock that have dual 10GigE interfaces J ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, Mikrotik Certified Trainer Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net <http://www.linktechs.net/> LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training <http://www.onlinemikrotiktraining.com/> - Author of "Learn RouterOS" <http://routerosbook.com/> From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2011 3:03 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Choosing core router for small - medium WISP Yeah, MT and ImageStream really don't have anything to offer when really pushing 10 gig interfaces.

Have had Imagestreams in VRRP running multiple BGP full 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.

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 :) -- Bryan Fields APAC Imports LLC Phone: 800-721-6502 Fax: 727-493-1511 http://apacimports.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
