Lo All!

I run dual isps at home, 1 for personal/family use; the other for my business.

The personal connection is a simple comcast 105Mbps connection (105Mbps+15-25 burst down/10Mbps+2-5 burst up)
The business connection is a FTTH ATT Uverse currently limited to 24Mbps/6Mbps (supposed to be scaling to 1Gbps FTTH eventually; lets worry about 100/10 same as comcast for now)

Each network is configured with its own VLAN (and a third vlan that runs OOMA; a voip provider that uses openvpn, so I isolate it); I also have a nighthawk AP acting as wireless provider (upgrading to UAP-AC shortly).

Now, Right now I have multiple devices serving things, I can't get rid of the modems, unfortunately, but I can simplify everything from there on (desktop switches, routers, ap, etc).

My goal is to have a single router than can handle both WAN/LAN services, without flinching. I have been considering getting an SRX240 (I know junos and juniper products very well), but I tried to use the CRS125 instead; Unfortunately the CRS125 is nothing more than a switch with some limited L3 capability. Oh well, no biggie.

Enter the CCR1036;
Would this device, with 16GB Ram, be able to handle dual ISPs (ipv4 and ipv6 w/prefix delegation separated to vlans) and still perform the necessary switching for small home networks (gigabit) without loss of performance? Of the 12 ports, 9 would be active immediately (inc the dual isps).

The information on the CCR is very limited in what its *actual* capabilities are; What are the backplane speeds? Is it relying on a switchchip to handle the switching, the same as the CRS? What type of firewall throughput can we see on it? Here is a link to juniper's SRX240 with stats, and what I am used to looking at: http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-s ... es/srx240/

I don't mind investing in a new vendor/stack, and the mikrotik's seem like a good alternative to the normal "enterprise" class devices, but I don't want to jump in blindly again and find out that the 1036 is not as powerful as what I had hoped given that it is $1000

Thanks,

If you look on routerboard.com on every page down you find a performance table.
Yes, CRS is a router with a switch chip. However, CCR are tilera-based 9, 16 or 36 cores routers with a lot of performance.
I have ~600 queues, ~1500 firewall rules, ospf and bgp on a CCR1009 and it pushes 250Mbit without breaking a sweat. It could easily triple the bandwidth. You probably don't need so many queues and firewall rules.

I would say any CCR suits your requirements fairly well, even the "slowest". Be advised that they have fans, so it's not a completely silent device.

The CRS125, configured properly, should be more than enough for the speeds you mention and a home network.
