Cisco Enterprise Routers are stable.

The issues we had were with the service provider, the internet links, and all or some of the dedicated links, but they were minor because our experience has taught us that if it's a fiber optic backbone deployment, it's pretty sturdy.

However, in our part of the world, the geography we live in, copper wires are still used in some deployments. These can be troublesome.

The stability and bugs are more related to a Cisco internal issue because when I worked in the Cisco team in research and development, their internal procedures were very complex and they had a very bloated OS software. All those problems have been solved in approximately 2007. They have improved a lot of processes and areas. They brought more modularity into the code and they have strict mechanisms for fixing the software. Earlier the problem was that when they fixed the problem for one router, they had to go and fix the same issue in different code bases. For example, if there was a bug in QoS, Quality of Service, code and it was on a router that was also found to be in all the versions which of many other routers, they will fix on few of them. They will not fix many others because that would cause problems later in the deployment of the solution. This method has backfired a lot for Cisco.

They learned from their mistakes and started modularizing the code, they standardized the quality of service across the platforms and those problems went away. 

Now they have much more modular code and have done a very good job standardizing the CLI. This is what is helping the orchestration because the more complexity you have across different platforms it makes it very difficult for orchestration. You are able to do it but it makes it even worse. They needed big teams to manage the bug fixes and to understand how the bugs were going to be fixed. Now with the tools that are available, they have simplified a lot of the processes. The concept of segment routing and how can it be used for micro-segmentation, are wonderful features.

The stability of Cisco Enterprise Routers is very good, although sometimes there are issues with performance, or IP wastage. Usually, we are able to overcome performance issues by upgrading memory or changing the device, if need be. In most cases, when you do upgrade the memory or other components, it usually sorts itself out.
