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

[Matthew Barnett]

Rhod,


Any indication how much the 7280r might be, it looks very interesting.


Any Arista reps on list who can share information and pricing?


Matt

?Hi Matt,
     I haven't seen pricing on this yet, so I'm not sure if it meets your cost effective criteria, but your use case is one of the main ones for Arista's new box:

?http://www.arista.com/en/products/7280r-series

In a similarly murky price category would be the new Nexus 9300-EX platforms from Cisco. Both are technically capable with seriously impressive hardware specs, but are very new with quite a few licenses that may need to be attached to run a full feed.?

You'll start to see a lot more options in this space over the next 6 months or so as new chips from Mellanox?, Broadcom etc come onstream in volume and more vendors get then integrated.

If you have a bit more space, a router? or server+an L3 switch running Cumulus as James suggested would work just fine. A bit more self assembly required, but a lot more options on price. Just depends on relative priorities!

Cheers,

Rhod

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
