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

[James Braunegg]

The Brocade CER plus a 10G switch would be a more cost effective than the Arista, but take up twice as much space.

Do you have a budget on how much you want to spend ?

What equipment are you using currently ?

Kindest Regards

Nobody is biting my arm yet... Vendors must be all on Holiday or having Friday afternoon beers already.



I wonder how this solution would compare against a Brocade CER plus a 10G switch

Hey Matt,
     These things are pretty new, and reference customers are valuable, so you are best speaking with them direct and negotiating :) If you don't have someone biting your arm off by CoB let me know and I can point someone in your direction.

Cheers,

Rhod

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
