Apart from a few issues with RPL in IOS XR (edge 
deployment), we've been fairly happy with our ASR9010's. 
We're running the combo 2x 10Gbps + 20x 1Gbps line cards. 
There are lots more features in the latest iterations of IOS 
XR 4, but we're not yet daring enough to try them until it's 
really necessary, or the train settles down a little more.

We also have a few other units running in a core role, and 
no issues there.

Cheers,

Mark.
