otoh, i did not believe in the fad of using 65xxs at the bgp global edge. while it was temporarily cheap, two years later not a lot of folk had that many boats which needed anchoring.
A juniper EX9200 is a switch and a cisco sup2t box is a router. The vendor said it so it must be true. As anchors, I would be hard put to make a choice between a 6500 and a 7500, which was a fine router in its day but alas only had a useful lifetime of a small number of years. Obsolescence happens. The distinction between layer 2 and layer 3 capable kit is not that important these days. What's important is whether the device's packet or frame forwarding capabilities are a good match for the expected workload and that the total operating cost over the depreciation period works. Nick
