Our standard office setup is pair of firewalls on the edge and as many switches as we need in a stack inside. Bear in mind these offices are less than 100 people .
Offices have 2 MPLS links back to us with centralised internet breakout . The only thing that breaks out locally is guest internet.
I can't see any advantages in using firewalls instead of routers in these branches. They cost more, have lower throughput, lack advanced traffic shaping/QoS etc.
We have a new office coming online towards the end of the year and I want to put routers on the edge instead of ha ASA's, my boss disagrees.
What appliance would you out on the edge in this deployment?
