Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your support, I have already went through these links, so far, I understand the solution and I know how to add a VSM card and bring it online, but I need to know the following:

- BGP configuration between VSM TMS and ASR9000

- BGP configuration between Collector and ASR9000

- Peakflow SP is virtualized, do we have to create one VM for the collector and one VM for the controller? or one image will play both roles.

- Do we have to use BGP flowspec or Netflow and what is the difference?

- How to pair VSM TMS with the Peakflow SP collector / Controller?

- Any specific document to guide us about all required steps/configuration between Peakflow SP collector/controller and VSM TMS?

thanks,

Have you reached out to TAC at all?

Both the ASR9k and the Arbor solution are considered service provider (SP) / carrier class solutions.  You may have some luck posting in the SP space, although I'm guessing if you have either of these products, you probably have ready access, at a very high SLA, to TAC as well.
