"2 NIC module slots supporting 1/10/40G/Fiber/Copper/Bypass" Get one of those with a server class processor and and it's a server that looks like a spiffy network appliance. Very general purpose if general purpose is what you need, quagga / openbgpd on bsd, yes. And you can bake additional services onto it.

Dont see it listed in the specs. Looks like 4210 has 2x SFP+, though their 'performance' level products look more in line with 'useful'. http://www.lannerinc.com/products/x86-network-appliances/x86-rackmount-appliances/fw-8877 As for the microtics, wonky user interface, so very unciscolike (i guess thats my problem - but the GUI thing feels like a toy), but for their midrange models I found their bgp convergence times pretty poor on their low end cpus... What do you put on the lanner? OpenBGPd? Quagga? Also looking for a 10G solution here, low power (than a full ASR stack..) is my goal for 5-6 full bgp feeds. /kc On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 07:45:39PM -0400, Michael Brown said: >Not *exactly* what you're asking for, but a Lanner appliance >(???http://www.lannerinc.com/products/network-appliances/x86-rackmount-network-appliances/nca-5210) > might suit your needs. > >M. > >??
