[c-nsp] Internet border router recommendations and experiences

[Eric Louie]

Oh geez, I just realized I left a zero off the interface - we need 100G interfaces both upstream (x1) and downstream (x2)
That probably changes the product choices a little bit.
Anyone with 100G Internet feeds want to let me know what you're using for a border router?  I saw one reply for Arista already.  
Does the MX204 have 100GE interfaces and throughput?

   Mark, thanks.  We were quoted a MX304 for the Internet edge from Juniper.  How has your experience been with it?  are you 10G upstream and downstream?  Any IPS on the 10G connection?   
 
 The MX304 is not worth the money, for as long as the MX204 exists.
 
 
 
   
  We tried an NCS-5501 and it was a disaster, in a word.  The 10G interface, uRPF, source-based blackholing, and routing table depth with Cisco is a limiting factor in their product line.   
 
 Broadcom-based systems should always be looked at with one eye open, i.e., test test test before you commit. This applies to any vendor, not just Cisco.
