[bdNOG] Cisco VPN Router

Fri Nov 15 16:08:56 BDT 2013

Mr. Momen:

This true what other said earlier regarding this issue. you have to
first finalize. have you need VRF or not ?

if yes then cisco router would be costly for support MPLS VRF . For
most cost effective solution you may chose Mikrotik but need to handle
this carefully :) . I always try to prefer to use CISCO as a  P or PE
router for MPLS VRF but you may also chose juniper platform which also
perform excellent .

Now mostly used as a branch VPN router : Cisco 1900 ,2800 series and
Juniper SRX 100, 110, 210
