Recommendation for the Core router

[Salja]

Hi all,

we are hosting provider and we are looking to buy additional router. Right now we have Cisco 6500 with SUP720-3BXL supervisor as a core router which sometimes has a problems because of very weak CPU.

Because of that we are searching for the real router, not switch.

Basically our needs are:

- at least 4 x 10Gbps ports

- at least 80Mpps throughput

- capable to deal with 2 Full BGP tables and at least 30 BGP peers

Any recommendation from your side would be appreciated. It could be also Juniper or Brocade.

Thank you very much in advance!

Perhaps an ASR 9001.

Thank you very much for the answer.

At the end we decided to buy ASR 9001-S and to upgrade later when we will need additional throughput.

Does anybody has experience with TCP MSS on the ASR 9001? Is that supported on this type of router?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Salja
