Cisco ASR's with RSP440 engines...
If anyone on here has experience with the ASR series running the RSP440-SE or -TR, please contact me off-list. I'm trying to better understand real world performance when it comes to handling a few full BGP tables on these, it would be running as very basic edge router primarily just doing BGP. I know the RSP440 is EOL, but the plan would be to upgrade to RSP880 within a year. Thanks John

The 440 is a beast. Faster even than the 9001's RP. You'll be fine with a LOT of BGP edge work. :) The RSP880 is faster on paper, but I'll be impressed if you notice a difference over the 440 in terms of solely basic BGP edge functions. It of course has support for other things that you might need, however. (No idea why this would need to be offlist...) -- Tom

Also, the RSP880-RL is available for the same price as 440 on list. If you certainly need 880 later, I might be wondering if Cisco will 'help' with securing a discount for the upgrade license later in the day. Just a thought. :) Regards, -- Tom

Tom's experiances mirror my own, the 440 is a work horse, a few BGP feeds will be no problems. Cheers, James.
