Yep. The single biggest reason I'm not advocating Nexus 5000/7000's today is the lack of NX-OS on the Sup720. If there was roadmap for it to also include existing DSBU hardware in the 'FEX' role, I would be implementing fervently, ignoring every missing feature that wasn't absolutely critical to passing packets. > Then they split the 6500 and 7600 BUs.

All of which could be forgiven 20 times over had the plan been to have 7600/XE with EARL taking the place of QFP, allowing the 7600 to be the brutish dumb big brother to the ASR1k. Sorry, the thought of being able to plan forward-looking purchases and technology migrations this beautifully makes me tingly... _These_ would be the moves of a dominant market leader with a rich innovative history. Thankfully there's a weekend ahead before it has to crash back down again. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
