I believe it should work well as a core router, i.e., it has the grunt to haul lots of traffic around (assuming you're going for the RSP720 supervisor engine), minimal feature configuration as most core routers would have, e.t.c. The only trick with this platform as a core router (well, in our case, at least) is that it's optimized for Ethernet, really. So unless all your links to your other PoP's (which generally terminate into your core) are Ethernet, it might start to get pretty expensive sticking SIP's/SPA's into this platform to support SONET/SDH and the like for your external PoP links, particularly if you're on the lower end of things, e.g., OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, e.t.c. Cheers, Mark.
