You've probably heard that the 6500 will be getting a new switch fabric/supervisor module which should resolve a lot of the hardware limitations seen in the current EARL (for all intents and purposes, it should be the same EARL being used on the Nexus 7000 series platforms). It probably makes more sense for anyone looking at a new 6500 to consider the Nexus 7000 for a number of reasons, least of which isn't the potential for future 40Gbps and 100Gbps Ethernet support. But Cisco will still get customers for the new fabric, especially existing 6500 folk. Cheers, Mark.
