<div dir="ltr">I've spent some time on this similar/exact problem recently, and it basically cannot be done for 10-15k. The problem is the full routing table AND the ports, there really just doesn't exist such a product (yet), unless you are really really lucky to get something 2nd-hand like a 6k with the 10G modules as part of the deal.<div>

We were originally looking at a Cisco 4948E which can handle our port requirements (20-30 1000-base T, plus 4 x 10G ports), however it can only handle 30k unicast routes, and probably doesn’t have the RAM to support one or more full BGP tablesets anyway.<u></u><u></u></p>
