Hi,In the past, I helped a few small ISP (sub 1Gbps) with software routers setup like Vyatta (Well FreeBSD/64 + Quagga really).
Until recently the hardware required to run over 500Mbps + could be as pricey as a pair recycle Cisco 7206VXR since most MBs where coming with only 1 PCI busses which could kills the BW+PPS depending on the amount of interfaces you use.
Now-a-days MBs with more than 1 PCI bus have become cheaper and shouldn't be a problem.
Its all in the setup anyway: 2 servers ($3k each with 4 interface). Split your uplink on each router.1 link for "client-reflector" | OSPF | <whatever you like> between the router.
VRRP back-end.PS: Sub 10Gbps, any DDoS will kill the link before killing those routers, but there is solutions to this which is hella-easy to deal with in this situation.

Does anybody currently use vyatta as a bgp router for their company? If so have you ran into any problems with using that instead of a cisco or juniper router?
