Hi Jordan,

See below the scalability differences:

Table 2.       Line Card Types

Feature	Low Queue	Medium Queue	High Queue
Total queues	8 per port	96,000 – 192,000	376,000 - 512,000
Policers	8000	64,000 – 128,000	256,000 – 512,000
Ethernet flow points (EFPs)	4000	16,000	32,000

In general, you would only use the -L type for core interfaces and the medium or high queue for customers/access interfaces.

Cheers.

Hello Leonardo,

Thanks for this details, if i use ASR9K for BGP router and i connect my ASR9K to Nexus for customers interfaces : Low Queue it's good for you ?

If you are going to terminate only one customer per port on A9K or terminate customers on Nexus, it is good.

Cheers.
