Thanks. Our 9904s have RSP880s and a 8X100GE-TR line card in each, so we're good for a 64-bit conversion. Meanwhile, our support channel dug up the info that a 6.5.2 EMR release is planned for Jan/Feb 2019. They also provided a link to an ASR software guidance doc at: https://community.cisco.com/t5/service-providers-documents/ios-xr-release-strategy-and-deployment-recommendation/ta-p/3165422 Given this info we plan to upgrade from 5.3.4 to 6.4.2 to get onto supported code and then we'll use the 6.5 release to convert to 64-bit operation during our summer maintenance in 2019. -Charles _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
