In this context 1-2RU boxes. So ASR1k, MX80 and MX204. At that time I did not have any NCS5k 1-2RU to test.

Unfair to compare a MX240-960 and ASR9k with a 7280R out of price and power consumption point of view. 7280R is 263W and much lower in price.
Only comparison there that holds is that 7280R have same capacity as a MX240-480 and perhaps also ASR9k with 6 slots,
forwarding wise.

The problem with JNOR is not the RIB, you an speed that up with REs, it is the process to download to the actual
ASIC that is slow.
