We have over 50 ASR920s sitting above 2 years uptime and getting close to hitting this ticking time bomb soon, so I am really not looking forward to this (gah!). May be this is good time to re-hash discussion about replacing ASR920s with something else for 1GE aggregation. Is anybody using NCS540 today as L2CKT PE's (terminating L2CKT PWs on the box)? Is it working well for you? Alternatively, it would be nice if Cisco would make a light replacement version of ASR-9001 (or don't EOL it :P) so we can keep using them to replace ASR920s for 1GE aggregation using 20x1GE MPAs. We have a few ASR9901s in 1GE aggregation role, but between how power-hungry it is (takes over 500W from the get go, and PSU is rated for 1.1kW) and how huge and heavy it is (54 lbs and this box is as deep as QFX10002!), it's an annoying box to install out in the field. I am not seeing the 9901 as an easy replacement for ASR9001 in 1GE aggregation role out in COs and small data centers MMRs, etc. I hear that Juniper is coming out with a different configuration of MX204 with lot of 1GE/10GE SFP+ based ports? This sounds very exciting to me.. anyone got any details/timeline/etc? The power requirement of MX204 is very good and the box is really easy to install at small sites.
