I think a J series would be the way to go as well. Even the 4350
claims 1Gbps+ forwarding.
To give you an idea of cost, a J4350 will list about $5k J6350 will
list about $10.5k. The 8-port GigE PIMs list at $1800 per, 16-port
GigE PIM (dual height) at $3000. Of course, those are list prices...

Hi Matthew,
The Juniper J6350 boxes are both cost effective and are claimed to
do line 2Gbit/s of IMIX traffic I think.
We've several deployed between multitple DCs in Dublin and a load of
J4350 at different layers. Stick 2GB of ram into each one and
they'll go a long way.

Subject: Line rate gigabit router/switch options
We have a pair of cisco 7204VXR routers connecting to STFI
receiving market data. At peak periods micro-bursts of
unicast and multicast data overrun the Ethernet fifo buffer
due to the 7200 being a cpu based router. A 7600 router would
be a good replacement but it isn't cost effective. We need
BGP, rip, pim multicast and netflow. Since the connections
are all metro Ethernet, Cisco has suggested looking at the
3750 switch platform that does BGP since all of the packets
are hardware switched, but it doesn't due L3 netflow. I've
been doing cisco for too long and was wondering what the cost
effective options are with other vendors or even other
possible cisco solutions.
