Alternatively, you can get a used MX240 / MX480 with quad power supplies, redundant quad core RE's, and 2 16X10G MIC cards for around $12,000. My question, is there anything else worth looking at in this price range / port configuration? Open to both new and used options. Looking to take full BGP routes.
We all like our edge boxes to be not susceptible to any old garbage that might come at them in form of BGP advertisements from the Internet (500 AS-PATH prepends, 1000s of communities, or straight out exotic attributes - just to name a few). So I'd recommend a vendor that has some pedigree in providing facilities to withstand these wild whims of the Internet and ability to normalize/bleach the routing information before sending it to the rest of your AS via iBGP. Examples: RFC 7606 - Revised Error Handling for BGP UPDATE Messages Max as path limit Max community limit Max prefix per session limit Attribute filtering Etc... adam
