Take a look on this page (Cisco didn’t update it with new models for a long time ) http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr1000/configuration/guide/chassis/asrswcfg/scaling.html

The 1002 is limited to 12K
We didnt test the 1002-x but on a 1004 with ESP-20 and RP2 we cross the 32K L2TP sessions without a problem (48K and even 64K for short time )  but it is not recommended to cross the limits

Under each Ethernet service instance you can define the following.

1) What frames arriving from the trunk port are to be associated with the particular service instance.
-that is accomplished with the “encapsulation” command.
-in your case “encapsulation dot1q 1048” dictates that service instance 10 will accept only frames with top VLAN tag 1048 followed by any subsequent VLAN tag(s) or data(IP packet).

2) Ingres VLAN tag manipulation removing, adding or translating 1 or 2 topmost tags.
-that is accomplished with the “rewrite” command.
-in your case pop-ing the first/single topmost VLAN tag.

3) Bridging operation aka what to do next with the frame (complete frame i.e. data and possibly adjacent/remaining VLAN tags).
-that is accomplished with the “bridge-domain” command.
– in your case the frame ends within bridge-domain 10.

IP interface for bridge-domain 10 is interface vlan 10.
But as Pshem already mentioned IP operation can be done only on untagged frames.

Though I don’t understand, how the service is supposed to operate, from your other email.
Because if the provider is creating a platform for the hub and spoke setup than they are responsible for pop-ing the top tag 1048.
