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?

A low-power rack mount x86 box running one of (Free|Open|Net)BSD and OpenBGPd?
