Today I tested a Sup2T-XL and a Sup720BXL in the lab with full bgp feeds for
ipv4 and ipv6.
To my understanding the hardware capacity for the FIB TCAM is the same for
Sup720-BXL and Sup2T-XL.
Sup2T-XL output of "sh platform hardware capacity":CAT6500-RC2TXL#sh platform

"mls cef maximum-routes ip 768")

The release notes say:
-XL mode:
· IPv4 and MPLS: Up to 1,007,000 routes
· IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: Up to 503,000 routes
"These are the theoretical maximum numbers of routes for the supported
protocols (the maximums are not supported simultaneously):"
The above output of the Sup2T-XL seems to say that the Sup2T-XL has a larger
FIB TCAM (2M) than the Sup720-BXL.
