<div dir="ltr">Hey guys,<br><br>I've recently set up my own AS and I'm looking at broadcasting my own BGP. I'm wanting to find some decent hardware at a reasonable price to do so.<br><br>The same router will also run my servers (about 50 VMs/3 physical boxes) and have to deal with multiple upstream providers (two currently, but more to come at my DC).<br>
<br>I also want something that can hold a big BGP routing table.<br><br>When I was first getting into networking, Cisco was "the big thing". Now I look at the market and Junipers seem really common for the cheaper end of the market. I've seen Brocades too - I think they may be out of my price range, but I'm not sure if they're worth the money or if there's a huge benefit.<br>
<br>I've been tossing up over a few Huawei models which are really, really cheap!<br><br>I don't know a ton about the hardware side of things and I'm sure there are others on the list with a similar level of knowledge to me. I'm happy for any vendor contacts, and I'm sure replies on list would be appreciated for other people to learn about this too!<br>
<br>Thanks guys!<br><br>Andrew</div>
