[c-nsp] 2 port 100 gig module - ASR9000

[Jared Mauch]

What RSP do you have?  If it’s the older one, you will want to upgrade to use the card at full rate.

If you are only expecting under 50% utilization you will likely be fine, but upgrading to RSP880 is recommended.  Otherwise you may want to talk about a trade-in for the 55xx devices.

If you’re buying it refurb/used and don’t expect to do run both ports > 40-50% you’ll be fine.  

There are a number of other minor technical limits, eg: small numbers of 10G flows may congest the fabric based on hashing.  This means you may want to look at some chassis, fan, power or other upgrades.
