Yeah the XR thing would be great but NCS540 would be too expensive and too much throughput meaning draws too much power,

If cisco, I wouldn’t consider 920… I think NCS540 is better option.

XR based, feature rich  and here are different models supporting different BW, different port density…

I think price/performance ratio is superb!

 

For better evaluation you should be more specific about scale, precise about required features…..

Hi folks,

 

I’m looking for recommendations on a cheap MPLS router (L3VPNs RSVP-TE and BFD).

Around 60G throughput would do , heck even 30G. 

Few 1/10G ports.

But netconf yang is almost a must.

 

You know something like asr920 or juniper equivalent, but something that that is not EoS or EoL

Oh and something not from China (you know, bad PR)… 

 

Any pointers much appreciated.
