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

[Randil Wijerathne]

No Cisco 6500 is not good option If you want to run BGP with transit ISP. Maximum IPv4 routes by a VS-S720-10G-3CXL* supervisor is 500K. internet routing table already ~ 435k

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.

Hi Guys,

I am interesting in hearing what others think and/or have experienced about the following:

Cisco ASR
Juniper MX
Brocade MLX

I am after some powerful routers (with possible switching) that can hold multiple IPv4/IPv6 tables and forward say ~200 Gbps of throughput preferably all in hardware. 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.

Guess, instead of having a L3 switch that can do routing, I want a router that can do switching.

Looking forward to hear from you noggers.

Best Regards,

Ankit Agrawal.
