AFAIK, if you want LNS functionality, you're out of luck on 
the ASR9000. The ASR9000 only supports LAC functionality.

The ASR1000 supports both LAC and LNS functionality.

ASR9000 BNG direction is more toward DHCP, PPPoE (although 
it would make sense to put future effort into DHCP) and LNS 
support for wholesale scenarios (DHCP wholesale scenarios 
are typically implemented in l3vpn's).

Cheers,

Mark.
