The Edgerouter Pro 8 meets all your specs. It's 1U, has eight GigE ports, including two SFP/combo ports, can take full 
IPv4 and IPv6 tables, and only consumes 40 watts (about half an amp at 120V). About $300.

Hi,



I'm looking for suggestions on 1U-2U sized router with 1G interface 

which can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 full BGP table and doesn't consume 

too much power. 



The router needs to be squeezed in to a rack which doesn't 

have a lot of space nor power. As for space, maybe I can make 

space for 3U or 4U but as for power, I can only do around 

1.5A@100V on average. (There is room for burst power usage.)



The following are the one's I can think of:

- Juniper M7i with C-FEB-E (base 1.59A)

- Brocade CER2024F (1.35A)

- Mikrotik CCR, UBNT EdgeRouter Pro/Infinity

- A server with Vyos, vMX or ASR1000v



Does anyone have other recommendations?



Thanks,

Adam
