[c-nsp] Cat 6500 vs ASR

[Mark John]

That's fair.

For reference, I have been saying exactly what everyone here has been saying, but my boss wants the specifics :-)

I think the problem is that the devil is in the details. 

Both boxes will support most of the same features (VPLS, NAT, Netflow, QoS). For every feature listed here there are caveats that need to be kept in mind when comparing the boxes (ex. for NAT 6k punts the first packet to built state, ASR1k doesn't. ASR1k will scale to larger NAT table sizes).

Yes, admittedly two very different platforms with different core purposes, but in term of support for logical features which can be compared side-by-side, that's not too difficult if you the info. Some gave an example earlier of support for VPLS, but never mind :-)
