[AusNOG] powerful routers in core/edge routing/switching

[David Hughes]

If you are looking for density of sub-10GbE ports and just BGP / OSPF then Cat6K is still a fair option if you want switching and routing.  If you want 10GbE ports then Nexus should also be on your review list too.

This will be pure BGP/OSPF calculations for next hops, route convergence and forwarding. I know MLX ports can act as switching ports so that will mean I don't need a separate switching layer which is a bonus.
