Most people use the ASR920’s for fiber aggregation switches. Since they have 2x10Gbps ports, you should easily be able to push >10Gbps through it, I’d imagine. They’re not your typical Cisco switch. The ASR is more of a router with the ability to remove single or double tags, do MPLS, bridge two VLANs on the same port into the same bridge-domain, and much much more. Dual power AC or DC power supplies is a big plus in my book. It’s a pay as you grow, so you have to unlock the 10G port capabilities, the additional 6 ports, and the Advanced Metro IP license set for the OS that you want. If you get lucky though, you could find one on eBay with all the ports enabled (including 10G ports activated) and AdvIP Metro feature set unlocked like I did for well less than ‘new’ prices.
