[AusNOG] Scaling beyond 1Gbps transit

Brocade CER 2000?
10G standard on almost all models and plenty of port options.

You could also look at the HP Networking range.

If you want lots of 10G on a "switch" like platform (smaller number of routing table entries) you look at the 5920 or 5800 platforms
If you want a lesser number of 10G on a "router" like platform (4M routing table entries) but costlier interfaces then consider 6600 or 6800 platform.

Either way, they have very similar Comware operating system feature sets as far as routing protocols go.

Hi Noggers,

Our transit link is currently running at 600Mbps with a Cisco 7201 at the edge. I'm needing to create a plan for going beyond 1Gbps of transit. What are people doing when they hit the hard interface limit of 1Gbps on their edge routers?

Are you hooking up 10Gbps gear to your transit provider or are you running multiple 1Gbps links to them? If the latter, how are you going about this? e.g. multiple edge routers with multiple BGP sessions?

I'd really appreciate your thoughts and comments on going beyond 1Gbps.
