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

[Chris Phillips]

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

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).
