oh, and the reason this isn't fixed configuration is that I was looking at the 4948 (which unfortunately only does in s/w) and went off on a complete tangent :)

for the price, you can use Cisco Catalyst 4900M, if you believe the marketing figures

250 mpps ipv4
125 mpps ipv6
(/me imagines fixed 64B packets and not imix)

yup

TCAM can hold 64K Entries. 

> 48 ports
Check, modular on 4900M

> 10/100/1000 copper
Yup

> optional 10GE uplink
if you buy the modules, you can have lots

> BGP a plus, but not required.
most certainly

Hi Mike,

Juniper MX 240s support:

* IPv6 (RA, DHCPv6)
* OSPFv3
* CoS, L2/L3 aggregation
* L2VPN/ VPLS/ Internet / L3VPN
* 4 slot chassis, 5RU high
* Each DPC (line card) can have 40GE ports.
* Hierarchical shaping (on inner and outer vlans)
* 240Gbps switching fabric, wirespeed forwarding, etc ,etc.
* yes it supports BGP
* Runs standard JUNOS
