Cisco Knowledge Share with Avner Izhar: Word of advice for upgrading to the ASR 1000
Network World has an interesting review of that new router, definitely a good indication of the device’s performance abilities. One comment I’d like to add to it is that the ASR is designated to replace the 7500 family of routers, more then it is expected to replace the 7200. It has far more horse powers then a 7200, so it might be considered an up-scale or upgrade to it but not a one to one replacement.
