Hi Radu-Adrian, have you done any MPLS PE functions on the NCS5001 ? =
...like MPLS/VPLS L2VPN, or L3VPN ?
I'm asking because I tried a NCS5001 in my lab about a year or 2 ago and =
it was pretty bad. At which point I was told to only try it as a P box =
from a Cisco engineer....at which point it dropped from my consideration =
since I needed to replace lots of Cisco ME3600's with mpls edge =
functions, and I ended up settling on the Juniper ACX5048.
I'm wondering if Cisco improved that NCS5001 in more recent versions of =
XR to included functional MPLS L2 and L3 vpn's.
