ASR 9001 throughput capacity

[Sam Preston]

Hello,

1st QUESTION:

The ASR 9001 maximum throughput capacity is supposed to be 120 Gbps (60 Gbps per NP).
But surprisingly, I found a document from Cisco stating that the max capacity of this device is 240 Gbps : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/models-comparison.html

What's wrong please? Is it a matter of duplex? Not clear.

2nd QUESTION:

Is the A9K-MPA-2x40GE supported on ASR-9001 or not? Despite having heavily searched the web, I was unable to find any clear statement on that. Of course it the answer to question 1 is that the limit is 120 Gbps (60 Gbps per NP) then this MPA cannot be supported by the ASR 9001.


Thanks for your help.

Answer for 1st question

ASR 9001 has 120G throughput. 240G is a marketing trick :)

Answer for 2nd question

I did a quick check on CCW and only these four MPA's are supported

A9K-MPA-20x1GE
A9K-MPA-2x10GE
A9K-MPA-4x10GE
A9K-MPA-1x40GE

A9K-MPA-8x10GE still not support?

Thank you very much.

It is not, and will never be.
