Looking into Cisco ASR 1000 series product line, such as Cisco ASR 1002.

ASR1001-X (ASR1001-HX maybe?) will be optimal for you.

Why Cisco instead of Juniper? Features, features, features! On ASR1001-X you can configure OTV, LISP, DMVPN hub and many many more. It can handle a couple of full BGP tables. It is very comprehensive platform. Juniper licensing is awful - you will pay for some VRFs amount separately, BGP RR feature separately etc.

The recent ASR1K product family briefing session and blog should provide you with some better insights into the products.

Chengsheng Luo, product manager, delivered a briefing in the Enterprise Networks Customer Connection Program which covered the introduction of the ASR1001-HX and ASR1002-HX routers, hardware and software deep dive, licensing, and scalability and performance. You can access the presentation and replay here: Enterprise Networks Customer Connection Briefing Replay Archive

Chengsheng also published a blog on ASR1K: Introducing the most powerful compact service router – ASR1001-HX

*Note - You have to be a member of the EN Customer Connection Program to access content and discussions in that space. Membership is open to Cisco customers and partners with a CCO id.
