Re: Multi-gigabit edge devices as CPE

I think e in ren is edu not edge 
L3vpn or L2vpn for pseudo  back haul or l2 extensions 
State ren I assume to stand for regional education network so likely vrf would be public internet possibly Internet 2 , 
district traffic, maybe higher Ed access for night class and vice versa.  

One way to achieve 10g mpls plus full table and stay under 10k you may be better served to break out pre-agg role for 
mpls and private L3 hand off and for Internet peering step a hop back and peer at agg with a heavy duty juniper or 
cisco box over a l2vpn extension to the CE

L3VPN hand off is the only thing I can think of from the top of my head. But then, there would be no need to have a 
full table unless you had customers requesting a full table.

It sounds like the OP is looking for one device to do multiple roles where two/three different device types and/or 
sizes would fit better.

So to return this to a more rational basis - why does an edge network
need MPLS in the first place?
