The use case is simply "full tables BGP" with currently 4x 1GB/s uplinks and possibly 6 in the near future. Upgrade to something 10G-ish not planned at the moment. 300-400 Mbit/s aggregate traffic across all uplinks currently. So we are too memory heavy for the C6500 (SUP720-10G) and then there's the TCAM limitation ... although our bandwidth requirements are rather small. And then the C6500 definitely starts to rot - I wonder if I will ever get anything beyond 12.2(33)SXJ10 if (when!) the next remote security bug hits. > Going back to original question - if that’s going to be refubrished unit, > 9001 propably fits the bill in the best way. 9904 in the new data center > is propably the best choice given your requirements. Yeah, the 9904 looks quite nice. Don't know if it's available refurbished, already. The 9001 would probably cost us 3 to 4 times as much per box as the 1001-X. I haven't received a written quote yet and I'm unsure about the cost if the 20G and 2x10GE licenses. We'll see. > Stay off the ASR9k cluster licenses BTW :) You don’t need them for > your use case. So I figured already. The new boxes will be all layer 3, so no need to mess with VSS and sons to get multi-chassis portchannel etc. Thanks to all for your valuable input. I'll report what we got ;-) Patrick
