Ι would be interested to use NCS5501 as a core or aggregation P router to aggregate smaller PE routers. Its low cost (compared to ASR9K) and the small features that one can need in order to run a P router it makes the platform attractive.
I would like to hear other use case (eg. Internet peering routers) Best Regards, Michalis Bersimis -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-boun...@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Erik Sundberg Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 4:22 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Cisco NCS5501 as a P Router **This message triggered one or more security rules. Proceed with caution** We're at the growing point where we need a dedicated P router for a core device. We are taking a serious look at the NCS5501. Is there anyone else using a NCS5501 as P Router or just general feedback on the NCS5501 if you are using it? The big downside is it's only has a single processor I Can't justify a ASR9K or NCS5500 Chassis yet. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files or previous e-mail messages attached to it may contain confidential information that is legally privileged.
