Probably none of them -- N7K seems squarely targeted at enterprise DC, so given BU turf wars, wouldn't go near it for a SP workload (ie. consider that post- split, the 6500 and 7600 are clearly diverging). Otherwise, ASR9K or 7600 are going to be the only ones that get close to the port counts that were cited initially. Given the 192 ports of 10/100/1000, presumably this is aggregating customers, in which case it'd be best to roll these up on 7600/RSP720 (along with their associated BGP, since most of them would probably be suitable for peer-groups). uRPF wouldn't be a problem, and hopefully ACL's would be uniform enough across customers to share most of the ACE entries. With that compromise (namely loosing customer-customer netflow detail), the remaining requirements for full netflow exports and the balance of the BGP workload are feasible for any of ASR1k, GSR, or CRS-1. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
