[AusNOG] 10GBps router suggestions

[Nikolas Geyer]

What’s the forwarding table size requirements? If small or can use selective route download tricks, get a switch.

Haven’t touched Cisco in a while but Arista and Juniper have cheap Tomahawk based switches that will do the job.

Otherwise the Juniper MX204 is probably the sweet spot router you want.

look at an MX204 before an MX80, as they only have 2gig of ram and a very very very very very slow RE CPU.  So not much good for multiple full tables and very slow convergence time.  Which is fine in some cases.

How much do you want to spend?

A Juniper MX 80 will easily do that, and carry up to 8 X 10 gig ports.

An MX 40 only has 4 X 10 gig or I'd say use one of those.

You could do it cheaper with an SRX1500 in packet mode, but the total throughout is lower than the 80gig the MX80 will push.

Hi Dave,

Preferably able to move 10GBps around but we can do 10GBps ports for now so long as we can spike for short periods.

Typical traffic is well under, but we do move backups and replication data usually overnight in AU so we could run less and still be fine.

Cheers

Do you just need 10Gbe holes, or be able to move 10Gbp/s around as well?

Hi Noggers,

I am looking to upgrade (replace) 3x  Cisco routers.

My preference is Cisco, however open to considering others.

Must have dual PSUs and support 10GBps interfaces.

We have 3 public (fibre) and 2 private interfaces on each router.

Happy to hear suggestions.

Many thanks


Darren.
