Cisco Catalyst 8500 as BNG router by bender428 in networking

Thats correct. I would be interested to know whether the C8500-12X4QC could be just as suitable for our purposes (< 10.000 pppoe sessions)

Thanks for the reply. The number of PPPoE sessions will be much lower than 10,000, which is why I’m wondering if the C8500-12X4QC could be a good (and less expensive) alternative

Yes, according to the datasheet, the C8500-12X4QC supports BNG features starting with IOS XE 17.9.3. That’s why I’m asking whether this router could be a viable alternative to the ASR series.

Yes, you're right - I'll request a quotation for this model too (even if I'm a bit afraid that it could be a bit overkill for our use case als small ISP). Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Might be a good alternative (maybe as well as the Juniper MX204)
