Hey r/networking,
We're a mostly Cisco shop but we are going to be deploying some new POPs soon in a new territory and I want to look at options.
We've previously deployed pairs of ASR1001-X routers to terminate IP transit links, running eBGP with the providers and having full tables on our routers. For the new POPs I'd like to explore alternatives however, the Cisco licensing costs aren't making anyone in here happy!
Ideally any device would have:
- 3 or more SFP+ / 10G capable interfaces
- 2 or more SFP / 1G capable interfaces
- Memory / capacity to hold 2 million BGP prefixes (maybe slightly less, minimum 2 full transit links per box)
- NAT / CG-NAT capability
- Minimum 10-20Gbps overall throughput with iMIX traffic profile
- VRRP / FHRP support
- VRF support (only need a handful of VRFs)
- Netflow/IP-FIX support
- uRPF ability
- Dual AC power
I definitely do not need SD-WAN or any firewall function (unless you count the NAT). Anyway I'm gonna investigate options but thought I'd see what people out there might be using for similar deployments. Juniper MX looks tempting although I don't think it'd do the NAT, maybe SRX is an option?
