Probably PPC and IOS XE same like Sup7 for 4500. This means Sup-2T can be the same for both - 6500 and 7600 series with exception regarding IOS features - SR release (7600) versus SX release (6500). > - there is no known plan from Cisco to have bigger capacity supervisor for > 76xx. In fact currently all 7600-S series chassis can provide 80Gbps per slot. From 6500-E chassis only 6509-V-E supports 80Gbps per slot. So 7600 is more capable of 40Gbps for linerate 8x10GE cards for near future. > - Probably not economical to develop 1 port 40GE card Like always Cisco can do oversubscribed 1:2 like WS-X6708-10GE :-) Don't forget about local-switching at DFC... We have 7603-S deployed where nearly all traffic (90%) is local switched at 8x10GE card. So oversubscription here is not big deal. > - If you need router like capabilities Cisco pushes you to go for ASR9K - > Comparing pricewise 76xx with ES cards and ASR9K with low queue cards there > is not much difference. But if you already got a lot od 7600-S chassis and ES/ES+ cards then ... it's like 7600 will dropped to lower capacities PE router.
