[j-nsp] juniper router reccomendations

[Sachin Rai]

Hi Mike,


Will it be possible for you to share a bit more information on the type of setup you are planning. Will it be a DC, an Office HQ, or for any

ISP.

Reason being is:

1. You need 10 Gig connectivity with your ISP.

2. You want full routing tables.

3. Number of ISPs you are planning to have on this router.

4. You are planning to have DDOS mitigation in place.


These are the points which will have impact on choosing the correct router for you.

Hi Mike,

Ask yourself if you really, *really*, need those full BGP tables in your
FIB. If you can do without them and install a default instead, you'll
find a plethora of low-cost devices that'll do the job. You could even
pick up a second-hand EX4200 with 2x10GE for US$500 or so, it'll manage.

Note that you could still receive the full tables from your upstream
provider and keep them in your RIB for your amusement. It's the need to
install all of them to the FIB that's going to cost you dearly.
