Site to POP interconnection

Ziggy74
Level 1
Level 1

Hello, 
We have a POP in which we are going to buy 10Gbit from a provider,
we will connect three sites with three 500Mbit circuits to this POP, three circuits could be a Level 2 trunk or an MPLS circuit, but this will give me confirmation.


The three sites are belong to the same company.


My idea is to place the border routers in the POP (BGP to the various ISPs) with two 38xx switches to which the ISP and the three 500M circuits will be interconnected.
While in the three sites I would put a 6500.

The traffic that should pass on routers should be 1G.

I would have thought of the 7200 NPEG2 as a boarder router and 38xx in the POP, and as mentioned in the various sites put some 6500.

what do you think?

 

Here in enclose the simply diagram 


Thanks in advance

I would suggest something both newer and faster than 7200s. Probably a low end ASR1K would be a better choice.

Thanks Joseph for your replay.

OK ASR, I'm not very up to date with them and their configurations.
Could you help me with the cofiguations?
In the scemario would it be better to put the ASR u 6500 in the POP?
or leave the 6500 in the sites?

 

Thanks

If you can configure 7200s, 38xxs and/or 6500s, I doubt you would have a problem with an ASR.

As to which is better, it depends on your feature and performance needs. The 6500 probably has more "raw" performance (I say probably because there's many components to a 6500 that impacts performance, and ASR models, and their components, also vary in performance). The ASR probably has more features.

Thanks a lot Joseph.
