Would you agree with that?
It will depend on your requirements. 9001 is small, deep, but powerful, capable of pushing 120Gbps. ISR 4461 and ASR 1001X/1001HX can’t match that (1001HX is 60Gbps) and for example can do VPN crypto which 9001/9901 can’t (if you’re willing at some point in future to terminate S2S/RA VPNs). > Could someone kindly clue me in about the 32bit vs 64bit platform > „issue“ if there is one?

As I already responded to James, 9001 is not going EOL anytime soon - at least not until June 2020. 32 bit is still an valid option and will be for years to come - we have hundreds of thousands of systems deployed with it. *If* however you want to go for full-scale/future-proof design, either go with ASR 1k or ASR 9901 (both of which run 64b code, IOS-XE and IOS XR now). And refurbished is only good if you don’t need official service & support. -- Łukasz Bromirski CCIE R&S/SP #15929, CCDE #2012::17, PGP Key ID: 0xFD077F6A _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
