The ASR1000 platforms are pretty sexy, but Cisco have out-priced 
themselves from that market.

The issue they face is Ethernet-centric platforms are much more 
optimized for today's Internet, and platforms like the ASR1000 simply 
don't make sense anymore. Why pay all that to get some Ethernet on an 
ASR1000 when an MX240 or an ASR9000 is around?
