The numbers were based on when I spoke to our SE when considering purchasing one a couple years back. It sounds like they may have a revision 2 or new route processor out now which supports more under this model? In which case you should be ok, but I'd get it in writing from your rep to cover all your basis. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Christian 'wiwi' Wittenhorst < wiwi@progon.net> wrote:

The low end ASRs are poor boxes for full BGP table internet edge applications. They have many other great applications, but the reason they are bad here is simply route limits in the FIB.
The asr1001 only supports 512,000 IPV4 routes in the FIB at any given point in time, and 128,000 IPV6 routes.
Current ASR1001 do NOT have that limitation:

Performance * 1,000,000 IPv4 or 1,000,000 IPv6 routes * BGP RR scalability to 2,000,000 IPv4/IPv6 routes (using 4-GB memory) or 9,000,000 IPv4/IPv6 routes (using 8-GB memory)
