Hello All,
If I wish to purchase a Cisco router that handles a full internet BGP feed what are the minimum specs I should be looking at?

If that is your ONLY requirement you can probably get a 4500M or 4700M
cheap on EBAY. With 128Mbyte memory and IOS 12.0 it can handle a full
feed.

Well it must also be able to do QoS aswell
Oh, you want it to forward packets also? How many PPS/How much bandwith?
but I take it thats pretty much standard in most 12.x IOS's..
Well, if you plan to run anything other than 12.0 you can forget about the
full table.
