cisco ncs5501-se

We are planning to expand our internet routing platform with NCS5501-SE. We currently have ASR9001 and we do 7 peerings with FIRT, we do mpls, netflow, BGP v4/v6/vpnv4, QOS.

One scenario that we would like NCS to support is a few dozen customer peerings that each one of them will live in a seperate VRF, in order to have its own routing table and own peerings/upsreams. This means that in each VRF there can be from 10K-300K routes and a default pointing to the global VRF.

I have heard that NCS has limitations on how the ports are used and the scalability of routes in a VRF. So, what is your opinion about that?

Also, in comparison with 9901 and the new 9902 (dualRE), I assume the NCS is positioned as a cheaper solution. Is that right?
