I'm having this question, what brand of full Gigabit core router/switch
would you recommend for small local ISP ?
It should comply with this requirements:
+ at least 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports
+ BGP4 (at least several ten thousands prefixes, at least 100
neighboroughs)
+ 802.1q vlans
+ remote access (ssh or telnet) and serial consoe, web management
+ at leasr snmp v2
+ full rate gigabit routing with small packets

What brand do you recommend ?
Enterasys (f.e. Matrix E-1), Extreme Networks (f.e. Summit X450 or 5i),
Huawei (NE08). Please list the one you have positive experience.

Thanks,
Matt

Nortel's 8600 would work great for you. You can get six slot chassis
that are redundant. You may also want to look into a Juniper M7i.

I think a Cisco Catalyst 3750 (or even a 3560, EMI either way) should
actually do the trick.

well it should be something as like Cisco 7301 or Juniper M7i, but
cheaper.
