A GSR is a plenty powerful enough router to handle multiple FE and GigE circuits, but they are prone to failure just as anything else is. Make sure you've got spares on hand and like Dylan mentioned make sure it has at least 512MB RAM.
BTW, one of our GigE upstream providers has been running a GSR and it has demonstrated a poorer overall available uptime than the 3GHz MikroTik we have peered with it. YMMV....

The GSRs can be really expensive to upgrade if they don't already have what you need.

Are they any good? Would it handle a couple of 100 FE circuits with the eventuality of growing into a Gigabit circuit? Gino A.
