[c-nsp] ASR9k and A9K-8T-L architecture

[Anton Turygin]

Hello,

We have an ASR9k with A9K-RSP-4G and A9K-8T-L installed.

As per documentation:
There are two fabric interface ASIC on each RSP. Each fabric interface 
ASIC provides 40 GB of throughput.
Each line card (LC) has four 23 GB fabric channels on which to send 
traffic to the fabric ASICs. The switch fabric is in an active/active 
relationship. All four fabric ASICs are active, even though the RSP cards 
are in an active/standby relationship. The system performs load balancing 
on unicast traffic across these four channels.

Does it mean that the A9K-8T-L will use 4x23=92Gbps to send traffic to 
the single RSP(limiting by 2x40Gb on the ASICs of the RSP)? Or should we 
have both RSPs (active and standby) installed to reach linerate throughput?

Thanks.
