Currently have T1 aggregation on some Cisco 7206VXR routers. Core switches and data center gateways on a couple of Cisco 6509's. Looking for a model that could collapse both functions into just two devices, one being for hardware redundancy. Any recommendations on a good L3 switch that is also a good T1 aggregation device? Anyone have any experience with the newer Cisco stuff like the ASR 1000/7600/CRS-1?

You might want to post this over to cisco-nsp because there are lots of options depending upon your configuration. If you're looking at port density it seems to me you would want your router/switch to have the biggest mux ports possible. So, you could look at OC-3 or even higher in the router platforms. You can get up to an OC-12 channelized, but it all depends upon your configuration. Regards, Mike
