[j-nsp] router for IX

[Keegan.Holley at sungard.com]

It also depends on the usage.  For example I've seen M5's doing l3vpns 
with less than 20 peers crash after a peering bounces.  If you are just 
doing vanilla E-BGP with the IX members you should be fine with the M7i. 
I'd limit your maximum prefixes where possible though.

Re: [j-nsp] router for IX






Hi Matthias

I don't know where you could find the limit on the M7i but like you said 
it's the next smallest router after the Jseries, but it has a big 
difference which is it's an hardware based router opposed to the Jserie.

I have on one of my customer's network some M7i with about 65 peers , 7 
external BGP and 58 internal working fine.
These router are not connected to he Internet but are exchanging up to 
13000 routes with peers.

I think that this router will do the job for you but more precisely you 
will need to have a look of the throughput you would like to have globally 
on your router (globally the M7i will be about 7Gig of throughput, well in 
fact you can connect 5 Giga interfaces fully loaded without problem).

Hope this help
Regards
Alain

Hello!

We would like to connect to an internet connection point (IX). 
Unfortunatly I have seen in the datasheet of the J-Series, which we use at 
the moment, that that system can only handle a maximum of 40 bgp peers, 
which is of course unsufficient, if we will use it to connect to an IX, 
where we thing to get at least 80 peers.

Unfortunatly on the other datasheets of the other routers we do not see 
any information about the maximum number of peers. Is anyone here who can 
me give an information? I think the next smaller router would be the M7i.

Regards,

Matthias
