[e-nsp] Using Extreme for BGP border router?

[Swen Wulf]

Hi there,

we are looking at replacing our current border router and I wonder how 
good / bad Extreme Networks gear is for doing BGP. I have a hard time 
finding any good references on the web.

We are a medium sized ISP with about 2 Gbit/s of Internet traffic. I am 
getting full routing tables from my two upstream providers and I am also 
transit and BGP peer for some of my customers (~ 14 BGP peers downstream).

Current issue we have is that the global routing table > 250K routes and 
the current gear can't keep all that in hardware, and we would like to 
use 10G interfaces for future growth.

I would be interested if anybody out here is using an Extreme Networks 
box in an ISP environment and is using BGP with multiple peers. I wonder 
how the argument goes with Cisco customers/peers and any other issues 
that one might run into it.

Thanks in advance for your reply and time,

Swen
