We've used ASR9000's as edge routers quite successfully, when they started shipping. Even though the code still has its issues today, it's come a long way since FCS. We don't consider ISSU a necessarily useful service provider feature, so all upgrades would be done in a service window. Agree, however, that the downtime incurred in updating an IOS XR system makes it annoying as an edge router (less so as a core router, but still). In many cases, this has actually prompted us to choose Juniper in the edge. Mark.
