I have part of the same problem bringing in 2 different MAN telco providers for remote offices into 2 data centers which currently are being handled by 3750X stacks at each DC.
We initially - I still like it - thought of ASRs as well but have decided that the 4451 will give us what we need for about 25% less. AES encryption on the 4451 drops if you are doing full 2Gb though. Heres the Miercom test if you are interested. http://www.miercom.com/?s=Cisco&x=0&y=0&=Go ------------------------------ > > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:32:35 +0545 > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: Nick Hilliard <[email protected]> > Cc: Cisco-nsp <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Cisco Router Suggestion > Message-ID: > <CAGZ0jj0HDuRT7OeE0Y-+NLfmC9HYr7CihHQMc5qSKbbonGrw= > [email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Hi Nick, > > What do you think about .. > > ASR1001-2XOC3POS with 1 unit of SPA-2XT3/E3 > > > > *Best Regards,** > ** > Dipak Timsina > Dristi Tech Pvt.
