    <div>Are you talking for core/edge routing
      or for DSL Aggregation?<br>
      <br>
      Seems a popular solution of the moment is to move to MikroTik
      routers for core routing, specifically the RB1100AHx2, or perhaps
      their 'Cloud' router that is newer. Since they are so cheap, it is
      not hard to purchase multiple and have them in a load
      balanced/fail over situation.<br>
      <br>
      In terms of DSL Aggregation, I believe the upgrade path in the
      Cisco world from a 7200/7300 would be to the ASR 1000 routers. I
      could well be wrong though.<br>
