ASR-1006 or 1006-X Configuration

[tdunlap01]

Need some assistance in configuring the ASR1006

1. Redundancy: What is the better approach? Redundant 1006 or use two (2) 1006 devices in redundant setup?
2. Module Sizing: From a growth perspective would it be better to offer 100GE configuration? Is there a large cost differential?
3. My Configuration 1006 or 1006-X

• Cisco ASR 1000 Fixed Ethernet Line Card, 6x10GE ASR1000-6TGE
• Cisco ASR 1000 2x40GE Ethernet Port Adapter (Native QSFP) EPA-2X40GE
  (does this require a breakout cable)
• Cisco ASR 1000 18x1GE Ethernet Port Adapter EPA-18X1GE
• Cisco ASR 1006 Router Chassis ASR1006 or Cisco ASR 1006-X Router Chassis ASR1006-X
• Cisco ASR 1000 Route Processor 2 ASR1000-RP2
• Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor, 40G ASR1000-ESP40 (Up to 4 ASR1000-2T+20X1GE/ASR1000-6TGE on ASR1013 with ESP40)
• Cisco ASR 1000 Processor, ASR1000-SIP40 

4.  Understand the ASR-1004 is EOL

5.  Is there a better solution to consider?

Thanks in advance.
