Re: [nznog] BRAS Options

The multiple 7301 track was were I had been heading with one in Christchurch and one in Auckland. The problem is that most of our clients are RBI and we have no control over which router they appear on from our connections to Vodafone. That would be OK if we used dynamic IPs but we don't and its way too late to go back from that.

Can you tell Sam and I used to work at the same company? :)

To a point, the number of subscribers doesn't matter as much as the throughput. If you're looking at 16k+ subs on a single box, you probably need to start being a little careful but otherwise just make sure you've got a decent RP and you should be right.

If you simply need to shift (say) 10Gbps of traffic with "more than a few thousand" but say less than 16k, then anything in the ASR range with an RP2 and ESP40 will almost certainly be ample.

Another thought, considering you mention the 7301, is to scale out horizontally - it's not clear if you're already doing this. The nice bit about that also is you could have a few 7201s sharing the load 4 ways, which means your IP pool overhead to cater for a box failure is also much less than running only two boxes.

A Juniper MX40 or MX80 seems to meet your needs there - depending on exact subscriber figures. From memory if every customer is in QinQ you won't be able to have more than 8000 on a MX80 series chassis due to interface limits.

Crikey, thanks for all the replies

Yes we need 10 Gbit, at least 3 ports and I'd rather not be too specific about numbers but more than a few thousand.

Apologies for being a bit of a cheap bugger but you know what its like as an SME, it all comes out of my pocket ;-)

Juniper MX5 + licensing shouldn’t cost you more than $30k depending on your Juniper partner status and where you buy it from.

Hi all

The time has come to replace my poor old Cisco 7301 and the quote I got for an ASR1002-HX made my eyes water. Still waiting for a Juniper quote but the general discussion seemed like similar numbers.

Are there any other reliable options out there that don't cost more than my first house?

Cheers
