Can anyone give me their recommendation for current hardware to take 2 x
full BGP feeds over 1Gb/s ports with a third Gb port for the local network?

I did this about 6/7 years ago with a Cisco 7200VXR NPE300 256MB RAM
but I'm guessing things have moved on???

Question -

How sure are you that the number of incoming BGP feeds is and will
permanently remain 2 and only two?

I.e., do you need, or conceive of needing, a moderate expansion margin
for the hardware selected?
