1 - Look at ASR9010 (or something similar) to replace all of the above. Pros: It has the density, it has features, port buffers, seems to have good granular virtualization, seems to have a good reputation amongst heavy users. Cons: It is very expensive fully populated and there is some oversubscription on the higher-density cards.
Depending on what level of redundancy you require, the 24x10 cards are not oversubscribed, and we've had good luck with them, and the platform in general. If you need 36x10 per slot, look at the 9912 chassis. The one card I would avoid is the 16x10, not due to any particular bug, but due to the way that it's oversubscribed. Two ports share a 15Gb/s NPU, depending on your port usage, that can be a major pain to deal with. -Steve
