Hi, We didn't test any of those features. My understandig was that they all require extra licenses that would bring them "out of scope" ($$$-wise).... and our need was for pure "P-routers"... actually being technically unable to perform as PE was kind of hidden requirement :) On Sat, May 27, 2017, at 21:14, Aaron Gould wrote:
Hi Radu-Adrian, have you done any MPLS PE functions on the NCS5001 ? ...like MPLS/VPLS L2VPN, or L3VPN ?
I'm asking because I tried a NCS5001 in my lab about a year or 2 ago and it was pretty bad. At which point I was told to only try it as a P box from a Cisco engineer....at which point it dropped from my consideration since I needed to replace lots of Cisco ME3600's with mpls edge functions, and I ended up settling on the Juniper ACX5048.
I'm wondering if Cisco improved that NCS5001 in more recent versions of XR to included functional MPLS L2 and L3 vpn's.
