Best Cisco router for BGP configuration

[Shashidhar3150]

We are a company with over 1000 users and we have a /23 public IP and a 200Mbps leased line connection. which is the cheap and best cisco router for BGP configuration between our subnet and the ISP.

Hello,

even most of the lower end routers support BGP. The ASR 1001-X would be an option:

If you only getting the Default route from ISP here i guess, until you have dual Path peering with another ISP.

you need 512MB minimum to get a decent BGP route to the store.

200MB WAN Interface to process your WAN Bandwidth - ISR 4K is a good candidate

Look at the comparison :

Note: In the cisco world, there is nothing called Cheap, you pay the price for service and support for Long Term.

If you really good at Linux make some scripts  - I used to run Linux with Quagga - with 4 ISP Full routing table with Dual-Core( that time ATOM was the new Intel Processor) - 16GB RAM (Debian Linux)

This works only if the ISP delivers Ethernet to your premises.
