[j-nsp] Fwd: router recommendation

[Richard Zheng]

Hi,

A juniper reseller came back with a suggestion of J-4350. The price is
similar to a used M7i. I was surprised by this option first. Then
considering that the application is for a small ISP, it might not be bad.
The DRAM may be upgraded to 2G which should hold several whole Internet
tables for quite a while.

Any comment?

Thanks,

Hi,

I'd like to have some recommendation of a router model. It is for a small
ISP. There are 2 or 3 upstreams which feeds the whole Internet routing
table. Total about 20 peering sessions. The traffic is about 2-3G in 12
months. Right now we only care about Internet. But if it can scale to
support layer 2 and/or layer 3 VPN services, that's a big plus.

We have dealt with M20 about 4-5 years ago. I am looking at M7i or M10i. Not
sure if I am on the right path.

Thanks in advance,

Richard
