Advise with the choice of border router (ABR)

[aleks]

Hello.

What I would like to have:

•     Border is used exclusively for IPv4 routing
•     Two peers with BGP Full View
•     Ports 100GB x 2; 10GB x 6; 1GB x 4
•     The total traffic is about 12Gbps
•     Redundancy (VSS, HSRP, VRRP, ???)

At the moment, these functions are not badly performed by c7606 with rsp720-3cxl, but we rested in the uplink of 10 G, since traffic in the busiest hours reaches 12Gbps and in case of a fall of one of the peers we will have a problem. There is also no redundancy.

ASR 900X - do not want to consider, because we will never be able to use all the functionality there, even at 5-10% and the price is very high. Not understandable licensing personally for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alexander

Possibly the ASR-1006-X (smallest ASR1K that support two 100G slots) or the Catalyst 9400 series (so you can provision with your different port speeds)..
