[c-nsp] Cisco 12410 vs XR-12410 routers

[Lee Starnes]

Does anyone have information on why we would go with an XR12410 when the
non-XR version is field upgradable to 12810? Both use the same line cards
and both use the same PRP2/3 if I am not mistaken. Does the IOS-XR not run
on the non-XR chassis? Are there any downfalls to going with one verses the
other?

Just trying to determine which direction to go. These would be used as edge
routers with nothing but gig and 10gig interfaces on them running IPv4/6
BGP.

Thanks,

Lee
