Hi Adam, The NCS540 has a Broadcom Qumran AX chipset with 3GB deep buffers. Smaller brother of the Qumran MX used in the NCS5501-SE. There should be a model coming with 4x100G around Q3 this year, which will make it a great successor for the ASR920, especially since it has deep buffers. (The ASR920 has only a few MBs which has proven an issue for 10G -> 1G conversion if not carefully carved with a QOS policy-map) No practical experience yet, just arrived a few days ago. It's smart licensing only, a bit tricky to figure out what exactly you'll need. Especially since the current SW doesn't seem to enforce/check any of it.
