PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling Broadband Scalability and Performance PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling The ASR 1000 Series Routers are deployed in a variety of broadband deployment models for terminating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Sessions and initiating or terminating Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) tunnels. The maximum number of PPP sessions and L2TP tunnels is dependent on the hardware combination. Table 18 lists the hardware combinations and the maximum number of PPP sessions and L2TP tunnels that are supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3.

Broadband Scalability and Performance

PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide

PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling

The ASR 1000 Series Routers are deployed in a variety of broadband deployment models for terminating

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Sessions and initiating or terminating Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

tunnels. The maximum number of PPP sessions and L2TP tunnels is dependent on the hardware

combination.

Table 18

lists the hardware combinations and the maximum number of PPP sessions and

L2TP tunnels that are supported in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3. For information about the restrictions for

PPP sessions and L2TP tunnel scaling, see the

“Restrictions for PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling”

section on page 2

Table 19

lists the virtual circuit limits for ASR 1000 ATM SPAs, effective from Cisco IOS XE

Release 3.5.

Restrictions for PPP Sessions and L2TP Tunnel Scaling

This section lists the restrictions for the PPP sessions and L2TP tunnel scalability.

•

To achieve maximum scaling for the 1001, 1002, and 1004 chassis, we recommend software

redundancy be disabled for broadband applications, and only hardware redundancy be configured.

•

Restrictions on 48000 session scaling with RP2 and ESP-40G include:
