[c-nsp] IOS for 7204VXR-G1 + MPF

[Rado Vasilev]

Hi Rodney,

I was wondering the last few days what would be the ideal Cisco  
platform for higher performance VPDN?
Currently I'm using 7301/7200-NPE-G2 routers and don't like the idea  
of splitting the load to more and more LNS/LAC devices.
Would the future proof platform with HW capabilities be the ASR1000 or  
something else?


Regards,
Rado
