I'm looking for a Cisco 2600-like platform, except with the capability of routing with gigabit and 10gigabit linecards (and not being EOL, of course). Ideally it would be capable of doing full BGP tables in the supervision engine, although that isn't necessarily a show stopper right now. Lack of IPv6 support, however, is.
There are no CPU based routers with proper 10GE forwarding capabilities that I am aware of, closest would be network processor based (which some might argue is a lot of CPUs in some cases, but it's not a 2600 type CPU anyway).
Single-thread CPU just isn't fast enough to handle the PPS involved (currently).
