So if my requirements are as follows: - BGP router capable of holding full Internet routing table. (whether I go for partial or full, I think I want something with full capability). - Capable of pushing 100meg plus of mixed traffic. What are my options? I want to exclude openbsd, or linux with quagga. Probably looking at Cisco or Juniper products, but interested in any other alternatives people suggest. I realise this is quite a broad question, but hoping this will provide a starting point. Oh and if I have missed any specs I should have included above, please let me know.

Now I need to startthinking of BGP router choices, sure I have a plethora of choices :-(Personally I'll always go for full routes if the router has enough memory (software based) or TCAM space (hardware based). Cheaper to do on software platforms though. An entry level Cisco 2811 can take full tables from multiple upstreams with 786MB RAM or even 512. It won't push 100 meg of mixed traffic though. ~Seth
