We are using them as PE-routers in a MPLS VPN-network.
Speaking of the 7600, I did an check to see what parts that had
to be replaced if upgrading to Sup720-3BXL. To my disappointment,
to get PCF3B functionality (e.g. MPLS), some linecards must be
replaced. If you boot the box with a certain hardware, it
will just run in PFC3A-mode... This is according the release notes
for 12.2SX:

m
(the sections for PFC and DFC).
For example, we do have some WS-X6816-GBIC with DFC. To be able to
use them, we must upgrade the DFC to DFC3A, but boom, then it can't
function as an PE-router. Argh!
