[j-nsp] SRX as Little Juniper BGP Box

[Jay Hanke]

I’m in need of a box that will handle up to ½ gig of throughput and some
very low volume BGP (about 200 routes + default) for IPv4 and IPv6 in the
next couple of months.

 

I was looking at the sheets and the SRX appears to give a little more “bang
for buck” as compared to a j2320 or j2350. I wouldn’t be afraid of the EX
line but the cost of the AFL for BGP puts me out of the budget for the
project.

 

Has anyone used an SRX in a similar situation? Is the j-series still safer?

 

Thanks,

 

Jay
