<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I currently have a project I am working on to peer at Equinix in Palo Alto, as well as obtaining 10G transit at the same location.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The challenge I have is finding a way to do hardware-switched, high availability, full-table BGP routing in a cost effective manner.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am now looking at still using the 4948E, but using a Linux box downstream from it with 2 x 10G ports, that will run quagga to handle the routing – but obviously there will be a performance hit for this.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering if any smaller sized ISP’s have come across a scenario like this and have any ideas – or if anyone has any recommended switchrouters that can handle multiple 10G ports, plus full BGP – under $10-15k.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
