=C9 would be interested to use NCS5501 as a core or aggregation P router to=
aggregate smaller PE routers. Its low cost (compared to ASR9K) and the sma=
ll features that one can need in order to run a P router it makes the platf=
orm attractive.=20
I would like to hear other use case (eg. Internet peering routers)

**This message triggered one or more security rules. Proceed with caution**
We're at the growing point where we need a dedicated P router for a core de=
vice. We are taking a serious look at the NCS5501. Is there anyone else usi=
ng a NCS5501 as P Router or just general feedback on the NCS5501 if you are=
using it?
The big downside is it's only has a single processor
I Can't justify a ASR9K or NCS5500 Chassis yet.
