[c-nsp] Router suggestions for a colocation setup?

[Church, Charles]

Agree.  We've got a 2821 pushing about 15 mbit total between 2 upstream
links and a link internal.  Doing NBAR, 2 full views, heavy QOS, and
NetFlow export.  CPU average stays under 10%, peaks under 30%.  Expect
2x better if no NBAR is required on your end.

I'd check Cisco's router performance matrix before making a decision.

terperformance.pdf

Personally, I'd use a 2821 (with a 1G memory upgrade if running BGP) for

this task.  Best thing about them is, the price tag is only around $2k 
(through the right vendor, and before the memory upgrade of course).
