Of course you can't compare a Metro-E box to a large chassis-based box one-for-one. The ASR920 and ME3600X/3800X can do everything a larger Cisco router can do except a few things like hold a full BGP table in FIB (for which there is a workaround), have dual control planes, e.t.c. The stuff that cannot be done is not important enough to influence a buying decision on my part, given the functional requirements. So I still attain my goal without sacrificing much that I cannot deal with another way. > Sure, but not on EZchip, not a fair comparison. Well, the Cisco chips on these boxes are in-house chips. So far, they have met my requirements. So perhaps not fair, considering how much you are getting in a small box at a much lower price that, for some reason, other vendors simply can't hack.
