Cisco ASR

Re guys,

just to enforce the statement that the ASR is not really in the Kindergarten
anymore:

rt uptime is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 33 minutes
Uptime for this control processor is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 34 minutes

[...]

cisco ASR1002 (2RU) processor with 1759125K/6147K bytes of memory.
4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
4194304K bytes of physical memory.
7798783K bytes of eUSB flash at bootflash:.

Configuration register is 0x2102

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, it is also correct that the box crashes with soft-reconfig
enabled (it's my bug, actually). Cisco told me they could not reproduce
it in the lab, so there's no fix yet. With soft-reconfig disabled, the
system works and is stable and fast. CPU is almost zero (2%), with >150 v4
and >40 v6 BGP sessions active.

Just to mention it - I'd have preferred an NPE-G2 with some hardware
forwarding board. That system simply rocks. But well, I guess this is
evolution...
