Hi,
I have a couple of questions.
Have searched the archives and didnt find much, hopefully someone here
can advise.
We are wanting to replace some aging Cisco 7200 series (border routers)
with 10G capable devices.
3 x border routers with 2 full IPv4 feeds (transit) and up to 100 IXP
peers. Traffic levels not very high,
few hundred Mbps traffic through each device.
Doing some research, it seems that the X480 model is most appropriate
(sufficient 10G ports, full BGP table, etc).
I spoke to Extreme about this, however, since it emerged that we need
IPv6 (BGP peering with transit & peering),
the conversation has dried up..
I gather that v6 BGP just doesnt exist yet.
Does anyone know if it is on the road map and when is that likely to be?
Seems that Extreme sales dont know or wont/cant say anything.
Is there perhaps a more appropriate device for this purpose?
Your general opinions on this setup/choice are welcome!
Thanks so much.
Regards,
Andy.
