Dear Nanoger, Anyone have an advice on CPE which can support the following features, please:
I've been building cpe devices using various models from http://www.lannerinc.com.
I populate with Debian linux:. I use pxeboot to autoboot into install mode with dnsmasq providing deb-install preseed build files. On the auto reboot after o/s install, I finish up with consistent, documented builds with SaltStack. This provides the necessary customized switching, routing, security, and monitoring.

1) 1 Gigabits/s ipv4 or ipv6 forwarding IMIX or Internet traffic, full duplex (not sure if cisco or miercom are conducting bidirectionals traffic flows at the same time).
With an FW-7543, I can iperf bidirectional 1gbps with no acl. I can get strongswan ipsec bidirectional at about 50mbps (the cpu has AES-NI). I havn't tried ipsec on devices like the FW-7573.
2) with ACLs and with uRPF with prefix filtering with bgp ext-communities (rfc 8092 would be a ++, but not mandatory)
I can customize configs with various combinations of VRRP, FreeRangeRouting BGP/OSPF (full routes are no problem), nftables for ACL, lldpd, hostapd for wireless, openvswitch for bridging requirements/netflow/sflow ...
The linux kernel supplies uRPF. FreeRangeRouting (a fork of Quagga) can do prefix filtering, ext-communities, etc. They have even recently implemented EVPN using VxLAN for encapsulation.
I've used the FW-7543 in pairs to a customer for this: a management port, a port between the two, an upstream port, and a downstream port.3) with BGP full route, 1 eBGP session + 1 iBGP (--> multihomed, single attached solution, so there is 2 CPE connected to 2 bgp transit))
Linux kernel has VRF capabilities, or use namespaces or native containers for segregation of functions or for implementing virtual functions.4) vrf light and SNMP + telnet/ssh with ACLs
Currently on Cisco side, we see the following candidates: - ASR 1001-x - ASR 1002 - ISR 4431, 4451 - ISR G2 2921 + 2951 + 3925(E) (EoL soon, so we are currently in the process of evaluating other solution). But we would like also to include other manufacturer : juniper, mikrotik , etc....
