Re: [nznog] BRAS Options

Agree for Juniper world MX40 would probably do you fine. But at 10Gbps and "a few thousand" subscribers I'd be tempted to knock up something on Linux and see how it goes for you. Maybe beta something with a portion of your subscribers? Grow it if it's successful. You wouldn't be the only person in the world to scale by throwing more 7301's at the problem either, to be honest. Perhaps a cheap stop-gap while you decide on long term way forward. Set a session limit for each box at a point you are comfortable with etc.. :) On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 8:11 AM, Dave Mill wrote:

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
