[c-nsp] recommend bgp router

[Daniel Hooper]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to multihome myself and within this need to upgrade the bgp
router. I'm looking to move about 60mbit through it as that's the
guesstimated throughput were going to peak at over the next 24 months. 

 

I'm looking at the 3845 router with 1gb of dram. A little bit of shaping
needs to happen over about 30 dot1q sub interfaces and the few standard
stanza acl's for an edge router apply, has anybody got any experience
with the 3800 series and how do they perform?

 

I also need to multihome between 2 providers, the second provider will
be purely for redundancy and only required when (if) the primary
provider fails, will the 3845 be enough to handle this?

 

 

Cheerio
