Its odd that they seem to only have 1M IPV4 routes in the 6800/6500 and the N7k 
but not the N9K.

Im guessing they expect everyone to route with ASRs and switch with N9Ks

Early on in the lifetime of the N7k M1 linecards, I heard a rumor from a 
usually-reliable source that the Nexus BU had beaten the c6500 one to the front 
of the queue for EARL8 and supporting hardware (which the M1 was built on), 
which accounted for the early lack of availability of sup2T PFC4/DFC4.

Even if it's not true, the existence of the rumor is a good illustration of the 
harm that these kinds of internal competition can cause to customers.
