This has nothing todo with the ASR1k at all. Its expected behavior that STP on the switch will block traffic
when there's a reconvergence, especially when malconfigured (like not using portfast on
router or host connected links).

Why this doesn't happen on your 7k2 we can't tell, there are a lot of moving parts that only you know
(for example whether you are using pvst, rapid-pvst or mst and where exactly the root of those particular
vlans is).
