Cisco ASR-1001-x CPU and bandwidth

[kfifield126]

Hello,

We currently have an ASR-1001-x router running BGP, OSPF, multiple ACLs, doing multiple sub-interfaces and doing QOS.  We have the default 2.5Gbps license.  I was wondering if the router can handle 2.5Gbps worth of throughput with running all the stated processes?

Thanks

Easily.

The ASR 1Ks, and the ISR 4Ks, basically have internal bandwidth shapers that are set lower than the full capacity of the device.  This attempts to insure the device can deliver its advertised performance, regardless of how it's configured and/or actual traffic kind flowing through it.

From what you've described, and as Phillip already noted, your ASR 1001-X should be able to easily provide 2.5 Gbps of throughput.
