ECMP is currently broken. MPLS/VPLS is currently broken and not done in hardware - this may eventually change. As far as the other stuff, "telemetry" etc - no. As far as BGP crunching, plenty of routes, etc - it would easily and happily be fine with that. As far as automation, it's a JunOS-like CLI originally based on vyatta, which AT&T now owns - and one of the main reasons is it's scriptability, use of Ansible and other tools right on the device, python, etc.
Technically I believe it's based on VyOS rather than Vyatta. Same base, but just delineating that VyOS is open source and I don't believe AT&T wields any control over it.

A BGP speaking device is needed between the caches and the BGP peers connected to the fabric. The BGP speaker is needed to present the peers on the IX with a unified view of the assemblage of CDN nodes. I was wondering whether anyone was experience with the "EdgeRouter Infinity XG" device, specifically in the role of a simple peering router for a couple of tens of thousands of routes. (I'd point default to the left and take just the on-net routes on the right to reduce the table size requirement). I hope the device can do at least 2xLACP trunks, has a sizable FIB, is automatable (supports idempotency), can forward IMIX at line-rate, *flow, and exposes some telemetry via SNMP. Any note sharing would be appreciated! Kind regards, Job
