<div class="">Haven’t touched Cisco in a while but Arista and Juniper have cheap Tomahawk based switches that will do the job.</div>

<div class="">look at an MX204 before an MX80, as they only have 2gig of ram and a very very very very very slow RE CPU. So not much good for multiple full tables and very slow convergence time. Which is fine in some cases. </div>
