[nsp] Re: Cisco OSMs for 65XX

[Clinton Work]

I have used the OSM-2OC12-POS-SI card in a 6509 distribution router
running Native IOS. The router has an 8-Port GigE and 48-Port 10/100
card as well. We're only using one of the two POS interfaces and
the active POS interface peaks at about 300Mbps. Haven't noticed any
performance problems. 

The router is running ISIS/BGP with a full feed.
