[NANOG]Hardware for MPLS/SR network

[john doe <johan.borch () gmail com>]

Hi!

I’m looking for equipment to build a 100G MPLS/SR network. This won’t be a
large setup—likely around six PE routers connected in a 100G ring, with
distances ranging from 100 km to 400 km. These routers will also need to
aggregate local links from 10G up to 100G. They don't need to carry a full
table.

Given that I’m aiming to keep costs down (an impossible equation? 😊), what
manufacturers would be worth considering today?

Is refurbished hardware still a viable option, considering licensing and
other factors?

Mikrotik’s CCR line is quite affordable, but would it be capable of
handling a PE role while aggregating multiple link speeds? Buffering?

Other options?

Johan
