[c-nsp] Cisco ASR vs Juniper

[Aaron Gould]

...i re-read some of your criteria... ummm, so I use MX104's and ACX5048's
with MP-iBGP for just learning my internal core routes, not big table for
world routes... so for what I use those boxes for, they are nice.

About the MX104 and ACX5000....

I have ~7,000 dsl customers being nat'd behind /24 of address space on a
pair of MX104's... they run nicely on two mpls l3vpn's... nat inside vrf
(ri) and nat outside vrf (ri)

I have deployed (~30) ACX5048's as mpls p's and pe's and they are running
well.  I have hit a bug with VPLS that requires a vpls routing-instance
bounce to revive, but JTAC just told me the PR is hitting D20 software and
fixed in D25.... still need to test that.  But all in all, I like the
ACX5048's.

you'd like.

I'm really liking the new ASR1000 family of routers.

But we did the month since December last year, and any way we cut it, the
MX480 works out cheaper.

Stay away from the MX104 or ACX5000.

Mark.
