Hi,

If you needed to choose a router that would:

Process about 200Mbps aggregate traffic (pkt size typical for internet
traffic)
Run BGP (1 peer with default, no full table) 
Run an IGP 
QoS (marking/policing)
Few ACLs (~100 ACEs)
Netflow export



What would you go for ?

Will the NPE-G1 be up to it. I don't want to see 80% CPU usage
constantly.
Is the NPE-G2 mature enough yet ?
Don't know if the 3560/3750/4948 will fall over with the qos and netflow
features enabled


7600/12k, sounds like an overkill for 200Mbps

Im not anticipating much growth of traffic here.


Your thoughts ?


Cheers

Mark
