Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but we're looking for a lifecycle replacement of our Cisco ASR920 routers which we currently use for BGP receiving default routes.

Each has one dual-stack peering with a ISP receiving default routes and iBGP with the neighbor. They have a L2 segment with 2 fhrp addresses AB and BA for traffic engineering purposes. Also requires prepending but that's probably a pretty standard feature at this point.

Does require a seperate VRF for mgmt or dedicated interface.

Bandwidth is currently 1G but upgrading to 2 or 4 soon, so requires atleast 2 or more SFP+ ports (upstream/downstream)

Which model would be a best fit in 19 inch rackmount format with current (2027) availability?

For those that really need this, 12.1.7 is released which fixes the CVE.

It's running, and except for user-id bits missing from data redistribution during failover back and forth (fixed by refresh connection) no adverse issues noted.
