[c-nsp] ASR902 vs ME3800X

[CiscoNSP List]

Hi Guys,

Looking at both of these boxes to terminate 10Gb Aggs and a bunch of either VRF or VPLS tails...3800X looks to support more VRF's(2000 instances) vs 128 on the ASR902...but we only need a 2 or 3, just a heap of subints/vlan ints in the same vrf, but the 902 looks to be able to give me (With 8x1 Interface module x 4 ) 32 x 1Gb ports and 4 x 10Gb ports...price-wise they look pretty close...am I missing something with the ASR902...as they look like a really nice alternative to the ME3800X.....3800X will only give me 24 x 1Gb ports and 2 x 10Gb ports...so would need more of them to accommodate the number of 10G ports I need.

Cheers for any input.
