Did the same exercise, the perpetual + support, or yearly subscription path
both cost more than vMX after a few years.

MX150 is better value if your focused on cost and don=E2=80=99t care about
limitations like single PSU.

I have been advised that you may not get the performance advertised on the
data sheet for some protocols, IP forwarding being multi thread / CPU core,
but some L2/MPLS stuff is only single core, (haven=E2=80=99t tested this
personally), so can bottleneck. Likewise turning on stuff like QOS is
supposed to be quite resource intensive as no ASIC.

It's basically vMX running on a Juniper hardware box.



Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just grab a vMX license?

Hi All,



Looking for some recommendations for BGP edge routers.



Have used Juniper devices for years, but interested to hear what else may
be out there.  Requirement is just to shift packets and multihome to a few
upstream transit providers with full routing tables and several peering
partners with more limited route table sizes.  Traffic volumes in the gigs
to low 10's of gigs.



I seem to be getting into a situation where the high end boxes to cope with
routing table sizes are overkill in terms of features and performance (and
price).   But match performance and there's not enough memory to run the
BGP.



Prefer a supported vendor device rather than roll your own open source
solution.





Thanks



Phil
