ASR1K (XE) has great BGP implementation, go for it if you are OK with density/throughput. Regards, Jeff

The ASR 9K is a really great platform and is what we use for BGP here, but it's pretty much the opposite of cheap.The ASR1000 is a very good box, but I tend to prefer them for low-speed services, which are generally non-Ethernet in nature, e.g., downstream customers coming in via SDH. They do support 10Gbps ports, but that is a 1-port SPA; and the most you can have in today's SIP's (carrier cards) would be 4x 1-port SPA's. So not very dense. Their forwarding planes start at 2.5Gbps (fixed) all the way to 200Gbps (13-slot chassis). But you're more likely to run out of high-speed ports before you stress a 200Gbps forwarding plane on that chassis. So if the applications are purely Ethernet, I'd not consider the ASR1000. But if there is a mix-and-match for Ethernet and non-Ethernet ports, it's the perfect box. That and the MX104. Mark.-- Regards, Mark L. Tees
