Yay.
But I wouldn't want to use that as a "core router", more like "a switch
with lots of 10GE ports, and maybe some functionality for doing EoMPLS
across datacenters or such" - so "a few 100 IPv4/IPv6 routes" would
be plenty for that role. Like the Extreme thingies, but with a less
confusing CLI :-)

I'm not particularily surprised, but that's not encouraging either... :-/
