Yes, it does, due to the EARL8. NetFlow works well, uRPF modes are flexible on a per-interface basis, ACLs don't have to be as convoluted, et. al. > Docs suggest the N7K is generally smarter about handling tcam than the 6500. Right, because of EARL8. > Or maybe NX-OS is smarter. NX-OS is great, but it's the hardware which makes the differences you cite. > Heres an idea for Cisco: how about porting NX-OS to the 6500? Wouldn't make much difference with regards to the things you cite, with the current 6500 hardware. > Or release a new Sup that makes the C6K an N6.5K?
