Do you need redundant control plane cards? That's usually what pushes a de=
vice beyond the 2RU point. If you do you could look at the ASR9004 or MX24=
0,those are above your 2RU limit though. =20
The PTX1000 or QFX10K or even the QFX5100 might work fine. You aren't goin=
g to find deep buffers in those boxes though. Brocade may also be an optio=
n. =20

Subject: Super Core Hardware suggestions
Hey All
We are looking for suggestions for a device to act as a super Core Device /=
MPLS P router only.
There seems to be plenty of Chassis based solutions out there that also cat=
er for a lot more.
We ideally would like a 1RU or 2RU device - Handling MPLS / IGP only
* Ideally 16 to 48 ports of 10Gig - SFP
* Non-blocking line rate capable on all ports.
* MPLS / OSPF /BFD / ISIS / RSVP-TE capably.
* Deep buffers on the ports would also be nice
* With a possible option of 40Gig uplinks..
Thanks
