The ASR920s are great little boxes. If you want the same mix of 1G and 10G you have on the ME3600X/ME3800X devices then the 24x1G + 4x10G ASR920 variants are working great for us with all the usual edge features (IPv4/6, L3VPN, L2VPN P2P/P2M, BGP, QoS, Multicast, OSPF, ISIS, LDP, FRR-LFA(r)). A Cisco ASR9001 with the 20x1G MICs would be a good fit here too but they are possibly too expensive. >From Juniper look at the MX105, ACX5048 and QFX5100s. Cheers, James.
