Hi all, In doing some research on the CCR1072, there are quite a few reports of issues with them. However, as with most things, you tend to not hear from people who do NOT have problems. I was just wondering if anyone would mind sharing some real-world experience of these devices? Note that I am specifically interested in the CCR1072 - we have plenty of experience with CCR1009, CCR1016 and CCR1036 series devices. I am aware that the CCR1036 has 36x 1.2Ghz cores, whereas the CCR1072 has 72x 1Ghz cores, so they are clearly more suited to multi-threaded use cases (not BGP with full route tables...). But it seems like it should be reasonable as a BNG. What are others using them for? Any feedback would be appreciated :) Regards, Philip Loenneker | Senior Network Engineer | TasmaNet 40-50 Innovation Drive, Dowsing Point, Tas 7010, Australia P: 1300 792 711 philip.loenneker@tasmanet.com.au<mailto:philip.loenneker@tasmanet.com.au> www.tasmanet.com.au<http://www.tasmanet.com.au/>
Hi Philip, We've been using CCR1072's as our core routers in data centres, and both have been doing well handling 5Gbps at peak. We've had issues with CPU load on things that aren't currently multi-threaded, such as BGP, but when everything is up and stable they run quite well. Haven't used the 1072 as a BNG, but we do have a 1036 with over 1100 PPP connections, so I suspect the 1072 should handle much, much more.

Thanks Ben. Yeah the 1036 does a nice job, we are using them heavily, but they are limited by the port configuration - you can get up to 2x SFP+ on a CCR1036, but if you want more than 2x 10Gbps-capable ports, you need the CCR1072.

Hi Guys, The other issue with the 1036 until the recent update it was only single psu, Andrew On Mon, Aug 19, 2019 at 1:50 PM Philip Loenneker < Philip.Loenneker@tasmanet.com.au> wrote:
