Our Cisco rep is sort of steering us towards NCS 55A1-24H as an alternative to 
the ASR9902 and it runs IOS XR but is this one of those circumstances where the 
OS operates totally differently depending on which hardware it's running on? 
(Like the entire Nexus line does with NXOS unfortunately)


They are completely different platforms, NPU-wise.

The ASR9902 is Cisco's in-house silicon, while the NCS 55A1 is based on 
Jericho+.


So the OS is the same, but behaviour may differ due to this, depending 
on your use-case.

So far there is one feature that is missing but it is the same to all IOS XRs.

Not sure the 9902/9903 are actually comparable to 9906... 2RU/3RU
"mostly fixed" chassis with special-cased RPs vs. regular modular
ASR990x chassis.

(Also, I do not think the 9906 falls under the new license regime,
where you need to buy one license per 100G throughput, per feature
that you want to use)

Looked at the ASR9902 and 9903 list prices and required licenses shenannigans
and decided to go for Arista.

Especially the license absurdities - the base price is already insane,
but then you need all the extra licences.  Feature x Bandwidth.


 From the "Hardware features and IOS XR" I'd love to get a few :-)
