The next-gen sup can't come out soon enough IMHO, as you know the s720 is quite long in the tooth. the same goes for all the IOS infrastructure behind it. You should make sure you talk to the right people in NSSTG about the fact that you actually care about how fast things like NVGEN happen with your config. I think a reasonable benchmark is sub 2 seconds. Anything above that is too long.
Agreed; unfortunately the CPU specs I've seen don't give me confidence that we're going to see that big a jump in performance (although maybe IOS improvements will speed things up too).
I'd like to see boot times <60 seconds too, which they could accomplish if they speed up the AWESOMELY SLOW compact flash interface, and adopt some solution to booting linecards which isn't based off internal TFTP! Again, I doubt we'll see that kind of speedup - the solution Cisco will push will probably be NSF/SSO which is fine except when the bugs propagate through NSF/SSO (e.g. FIB corruption), and of course the increase in cost!
Also, are you intending to use the config replace/rollback capability that comes in conjunction with the archive commandset?
Not really. At the moment a faster (but safe) alternative to "wr mem" would suffice.
We've noticed a number of defects there that have not been easily addressed.
Yeah, the stuff all seemed a bit buggy when I tried it under the initial release of SXH. I may revisit it on our test box, but the problem with things like this is the bugs may only show at the worst possible time :o(
