I’m currently using an RB4011 for 1G and it works great. We will be expanding in the future and need to pass 2-10G, so I’d need two SFP+ ports at minimum.
I must have rackmount (2 or more) SFP+ and would greatly prefer -48v power capability. I can switch to AC if it really comes down to it.
The requirements are working with 2-10 gbps internet capacity (should be larger packets on average) and working well with BGP and OSPF. I do have a few firewall rules for input to protect the router (pretty comparable to the default input config). Normally I’d think a CCR but I’m concerned the slower CPU single process BGP is a problem and I can’t wait for v7 (assuming that even enables CCR to maintain pace with new routes from BGP).
This depends on whether you want full tables or not.
If you don’t need full tables, i’d recommend a CCR1036-8G2S+ , if you are going to do full tables, a hypervisor and the CHR will give you the best performance until v7 is out as stable code.
