CCR1036-8G-2S+EM or CCR2116-12G-4S+ ?

Tue Jan 10, 2023 5:19 pm

Hello Guys,

I whant to change ower router, with CCR1036-8G-2S+EM or CCR2116-12G-4S+ , but i dont know witch one :)

At this moment we have server poweredge 2 cpu x5650, 24gb ram with vyos, using 2.6gb ram. is ok working since 3y now but i whant sompting more powerfull and good, because with the curent router somptimes the speed is slow, like 100mbps till we reboot and after back again but not what i whant and after some time is like loosing the speed somehow, we even check network ports...etc

All ower servers have 10GB Network Local SFP+ using a Mikrotik switch the 40gb pors...etc
We have 2 ISP providers and a seprate vlan true one provider from Voxility.
Both providers provide us 2 bgp tables, national and global.

Ower ISP speed is 500mbps minimum guarantee with 1GB port, we whant to upgrade to 1GB Guarantee and 10GB Port.

Ower budget is 1500e, at the curent stage we dont affort like 15k routers :)

Any other recomandations ar allways welcome
Thank you.

It largely depends on what you value more stability or new platform/features

CCR1036 on 6.48.6 is going to be rock solid and can handle 10G + 2 full tables without issue - it just isn't super-fast to converge. That said, Tilera chips are no longer being manufactured and there is a finite supply of this platform.

CCR2116 is a fantastic box and has far more capabilities but it's largely going to depend on which protocols you want to run and if they are stable as of 7.6 stable. Don't get me wrong, ROS7 has come a long way in the last year and can be put into prod for many use cases, but the more complicated the use case, the greater chance it's not yet stable on ROSv7.

Once a long-term software version is released for ROSv7, this will balance will start to change.

I have one 1036 and seven 2116's. My 1036 handles CGNAT for all my customers. The network 2116's handle routing (full and partial BGP tables) and basic firewalling at the edge. The home and data center 2116's handle firewall, NAT, and now containers.

The 1036 has more cores to handle a ton of networking. If you plan on doing lots of CPU-intensive work, such as firewalling, NAT, VPN tunnels, PPPoE, etc., the 1036 might be a better option, especially if you need it now and for some reason might need a feature from an older version of firmware or capability/stability that 7 doesn't offer today. But that gap is narrowing by the week.

The 2116's have Layer 3 offloading, so if you have a bunch of routes, it takes the load of routing off the CPU and frees it up for those other tasks mentioned above.

Given my 1:7 ratio, I personally see little-to-no reason to buy yesterday's tech today.
