[AusNOG] Cost effective 10G full feed BGP router for IPv4 & IPv6

Fri Aug 5 10:19:07 EST 2016

If you’re ok with single-threaded BGP process on the RouterOS (I’m not), then 2xCCR1072, in 1U rack space, back to back, and two or three bonded 10G ethernets between them would perhaps satisfy your requirements?
As for the cooling, well, of course, the one in the back of the rack will suffer a bit, unless you’d open its case and reverse the fans. Piping the exhaust from the front-mounted unit to the rear-mounted unit.
Yeah, I know, sounds like sticky tape and chewing gum solution.
An another one would be a white-box 1U switch, with some 10GbE  and/or 40GbE ports. Plenty of them with a proper x64 CPU over there.
As for the servers with 10GbE cards: usually, the 1U boxes do not have all of their available PCI-E lanes piped to the risers. There is simply not enough space. You’d have to go with 2U server to get a decent amount of x4 and x8 PCI-E connectors, otherwise you’ll oversubscribe the ports. More careful planning needs to be done in this area.
Good luck!

John.

You can get a full routing table on some layer 3 switches but they generally don’t fit in the 1RU footprint specified (the venerable cisco 65xx/68xx series comes to mind…)

Most (if not all) layer 3 switches won't accept a full routing table, even if you reconfig the forwarding profile - i think the max you'll get on any of them is around 256k routes.

Do you really need routing capacity of 10 x 10 gbit ports ?

If not you could use a Brocade CER RT (1RU router) with 4 x 10 gbits and lag the 4 ports into a 48 port 10 gbit switch…. However that’s still 2RU of space

You could also look at cumulusnetworks.com<http://cumulusnetworks.com/> on a Layer 3 switch, but not sure how that would go with a full routing table.

Subject: [AusNOG] Cost effective 10G full feed BGP router for IPv4 & IPv6

I am after suggestions for a 10G router with at least 10 x 10G ports within a 1RU form factor, any suggestions?

Full routing table is a must.

Thanks Matt
