Yes... 10Gb interfaces is the way to go.... or just multiple 1Gb
upstreams? With that much traffic, you should be diverse anyhow.<br>><br>>
10Gbps interfaces are still relatively expensive[1] on the ASR1000
platform, when you consider the pricing of 7200 series[2] gear which it
is replacing. Is the situation better with the MX?<br>><br>> I
don't have any experience with them, but would an ASR9001(-S) actually
be a better choice for 10Gbps, considering the 4x built in 10Gbps SFP+

crazy figure for the WAN PHY version (which I assume just has big
buffers?)..<br>><br>> [2] Understanding, of course, that this
product line is EOL.<br>><br>>
