What about L3 switches? You could receive full BGP table with Linux BOX with ExaBGP, parse it and feed to L3 switch. On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 10:44 PM, Mel Beckman <mel () beckman org> wrote:
I've seen serious, unusual performance bottlenecks in Mikrotik CCR, in some cases not even achieving a gigabit speeds on 10G interfaces. Performance drops more rapidly then Cisco with smaller packet sizes. -mel beckmanOn May 19, 2015, at 12:28 PM, Justin Wilson - MTIN <lists () mtin net> wrote: I second the Mikrotik recommendation.

About as cheap as you can get: For about $3,000 you can build a Supermicro OEM system with an 8-core Xeon E5 V3 and 4-port 10G Intel SFP+ NIC with 8G of RAM running VyOS. The pro is that BGP convergence time will be good (better than a 7200 VXR), and number of tables likely won't be a concern since RAM is cheap. The con is that you're not doing things in hardware, so you'll have higher latency, and your PPS will be lower.What 8 core Xeon E5 v3 would that be? The 26xx's are hideously pricey, and for a router, you're probably better off with something like a Supermicro X10SRn fsvo "n" with a Xeon E5-1650v3. Board is typically around $300, 1650 is around $550, so total cost I'm guessing closer to $1500-$2000 that route. The edge you get there is the higher clock on the CPU. Only six cores and only 15M cache, but 3.5GHz. The E5-2643v3 is three times the cost for very similar performance specs. Costwise, E5 single socket is the way to go unless you *need* more. ... JG
