Good morning, We're in the market to move our IX peering off of our core (too much BGP/CPU :-/ ) and onto a dedicated switch. Anybody have a recommendation on a switch that can do the following without costing a fortune? I have scoured Cisco, and bang for the buck is ... ASR9k (way over powered for handling zero-feature IX traffic), 3-8x 10gbps ports 64k routes minimum, preferably 128k Must be able to speak BGP Native/functional IPv6 would be sharp! Basic QoS to police our ports The prefix count seems to be the killer, as our exchange table is getting pretty big (42k+ currently). I'm really tempted to build a vyatta box or similar, but would rather do something off the shelf -- especially if it can be 1-2 gens old and cost effective.
If you don't need to carry a full Internet table, the Cisco 4500-X has plenty of features and the 32 port model can accommodate 256k IPv4 routes. It also does IPv6 in hardware (128k routes) Aled
