So if my requirements are as follows: - BGP router capable of holding full Internet routing table. (whether I go for partial or full, I think I want something with full capability).
- Capable of pushing 100meg plus of mixed traffic. What are my options? I want to exclude openbsd, or linux with quagga. Probably looking at Cisco or Juniper products, but interested in any other alternatives people suggest. I realise this is quite a broad question, but hoping this will provide a starting point. Oh and if I have missed any specs I should have included above, please let me know.
