Re: Cisco ASR router performance specs

Here's what I always refer too

http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf

It's close.  I don't think the testing incorporates a lot of services
in use on the routers, however.

For max interfaces, read up on this:

I can tell you we have a couple ASR's pushing around 100Mbps running
VRF, BGP, bunch of ACL's and prefix lists and they are pretty much
idle. Traffic pattern is mostly SIP and RTP traffic (lots of small
packets)
