Hi, We've been using various ASR1k variants for the last few months. Generally the experience's been positive. Devices deliver what is expected in terms of performance without even breaking a sweat. We used them mainly as border routers (in a PE configuration). One thing that you have to pay some attention to is features - since the platform is relatively new (and effectively hardware-based, so features take some time to add) some things that you might need might not be there yet. At some stage (around 2.2.1 if I recall correctly) you could configure PortChannel, but it wouldn't work. One other feature that we're missing is 6VPE (that is coming in a few months), but I'm sure that there are some others too.
I admit that my experience is SP based, but I believe that the ASR1k is the way of the feature for small-ish Ethernet aggregation. kind regards Pshem 2009/11/20 Ash Net <[email protected]>: > Hi Folks, > > We're looking for a new Edge routing platform for our Core DC > locations.
