We're in the process of looking for another small (form-factor) router that will be able to handle multiple full BGP tables and has some 100G interfaces on it. We're currently using an ASR9901, which is working fine, but Cisco in their infinite wisdom has just put that on the end-of-sale list.
On our last call, they proposed the 9902 as a reasonable replacement for the 9901. On paper it looks ok -- typical 'new' Cisco "you can use this port, or those 2 ports, but not both", etc. The other thing that I don't really like is that it can have 2 route processors. But, they're not interconnected in the back plane. So if you put both processors in, you basically have 2 routers in one chassis, each with their own sets of ports. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of other options in the 9k range that aren't large-scale chassis routers. It sounds like it's a fairly new platform, but wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with them yet.
