RE: Cisco Router best for full BGP on a sub 5K bidget 7500 7200 or other vendor ?

What about a 7505 w/ RSP4/256 and 2 VIP 2-50/128s with 4 PA-FE-TXs.

For additional port density a 3550 ?

What is better about the 7206 VXR ?

Fewer software bugs, simpler platform, half the vertical space in the
rack, redundant power supplies, built-in faste on the IO controller
(if you get that kind).

7206 is one of the _BEST_ Cisco routers, if we compare all parameters
((including numbert of bugs and simplicity).
