Well, 12.2S *is* targeted at the ISP customers, so RBE should better be
there :-) - I'd expect more additions for the broadband/access things in
12.2(17)S or after that (but that's half a year hence, as far as I
understand the road map).

I can only speak for T3, STM-1 and Gig/FastEthernet-Links, and what I can
see so far, SNMP counters and "show int" counters usually agree.  The
"show int" ones get stuck every now and then, but SNMP (counter64 only,
didn't check counter32) works.

On our three 7200s with 12.2S, they seem to (block what I'd expect, and
let the rest pass).
