Well, actually for the larger IXPs, this box looks very promising.
For port density reasons (and port *cost* reasons), you can't easily
just dual-home the IXP members - and a 6500/7600 will just not give
the required number of ports and throughput.
DECIX is currently at something like 80 ports 10GE, doubling every year...
