If you require full redundancy, checkout the MX104. It also has a =
slightly better RE.

Hello,
I am currently looking into a 10G router that will support the below
requirements and hopefully not be too costly. Do you know of any models =
to
stay away due to issues or that you would recommend?
- 4x+ 10GBE ports
- BGPv4/v6
- Small number of RU preferred
- Support for 2-4 full routing tables
- 2 10GBE ports down to switches
- 2 10GBE for up-streams but would prefer more to support IXs.
I have been looking into a few options including; Brocade CER 2024C-4X,
Broacde MLXE-4 with 10Gx8-X, Juniper MX80, Cumulus Linux, etc.
Some quick notes:
- 4x 10GBE ports is a bit low for the Brocade CER
- Not sure how the CER will handle a few routing tables and 10G+ traffic
- The MLX and MX80 is very high costs from what I have seen
- The MX80 has 4x 10GBE ports but at less allows an extra 4 via MIC
- Decent number of real use case reviews for the MX80
- Possibly use cumulus networks if there are any systems that meet the
requirements
Thanks
Steven
