[AusNOG] Scaling beyond 1Gbps transit

[Skeeve Stevens]

600Mbps is almost the limit for a 7201 (1Gig TP maximum theoretical).

Go an ASR1002 or Juniper MX5 - both make great cheap bgp border routers.

Yes... 10Gb interfaces is the way to go.... or just multiple 1Gb upstreams?
 With that much traffic, you should be diverse anyhow.
