Do you intend to route all OC-3 traffic across the single gigabit?
The gigabit int can only cope with around 300Mbps (limitation cBus) whereas
4xOC-3 amounts to 600Mbps.
The gigabit int is only available as a single interface processor card
(GEIP) right now so you can't benefit from dCEF here (switching between Port
Adapters on the Linecard itself).
Apart from that I do not have much faith in the stability in the GEIP at
this moment, and you are now putting all your eggs in one basket.
Maybe you could add another GEIP for redundancy on both sides and load
balance these links or even setup a Port Channel with two GEIP's?
