[c-nsp] ASR performance

[MKS]

Hi list

I was wondering if somebody has had the chance to play with the new
ASR? From the introduction of ESP it's suppose to terminate 8000
subscribers on ESP5 and 16000 on ESP10, (32000 on ESP20)?

Has somebody had the chance to actually test PPPoE termination
performance on this box? e.g. number_of_subscribers vs. throughput vs.
load  ?

Thanks in advance
MKS

Q. Where are the 5- and 10-Gbps ESPs positioned in a service
provider's broadband network?
A. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router serves as a broadband aggregation
router that terminates 8,000 to 16,000 subscriber sessions; supports
features such as Cisco Session Border Controller (SBC) for voice over
IP (VoIP), video Telepresence services, and hardware-assisted Firewall
for security; and requires Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit Ethernet
uplink capability.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router is ideally suited for deployment as a
Point-to-Point Termination and Aggregation (PTA) device, L2TP Access
Concentrator (LAC), or L2TP Network Server (LNS).
