Hi Alexandre
Thanks for your suggestion. The solution with a 7201 looks very interesting and since one 7201 is near of the price of two 3825, that could be perhaps the solutions for which we should go. The only thing is, that with two separate boxes, we are better covered in the case of hardware failure.
Kind Regards
Patrick Studer

Hi Patrick,
I've seen your message on SwiNOG list for your multihoming project.
If you have the budget and want to stick with Cisco, I would suggest you using 7201. They works very well and comes with 1GB or RAM. The end-user price in CHF is ~ 26200CHF, but you can probably get a good 5000 CHF discount since it is likely sold around 18k at reseller price.
Ohterwise as you mentioned the 3800 series can be a way to go. The 3825 with a RAM upgrade to 1GB would bet a very good one, with end-user price of 10K (with 256 MB of RAM) you can probably grab one for 8500 CHF.
If you are looking for a provider to offer you ASN, IP v4/v6 PI blocks, or even hardware please feel free to knock at our door. We price very attractive and have suppliers in Switzerland for hardware from the normal market. We are also able to provide you very attractive IP transit services if you are somewhere between Equinix 1 and ICT-Center Zurich.
Wish you the best for your project!
Cheers.
