[c-nsp] ASR-1002 Feedback

[Ash Net]

Hi Folks,

We're looking for a new Edge routing platform for our Core DC
locations. This platform will terminate our internet links and bigger
private links. ASR1002 on paper appears to be a good fit for our
requirements. In the recent past, there have been reported issues with
IOS stability and Featureset  (Netflow/Mcast etc) issues with the
Product.

At this point, I'm looking for some feedback as to where the Platform
is at from a software/hw reliability standpoint (ESP5 vs
10/POS/Ethernet (1/10G) SPA's) today. Any major issues/limitations or
shortcomings (# of ports in an EtherChannel?) that currently exist and
overall feel of the Enterprise folks who've deployed the Router in
production.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
