[c-nsp] Router/switch suggestions James

[Tantsura, Jeff]

Note
On 6500 you could use your old 72xx/75xx interfaces (in case you have
got one) with Flexwan module, which is much cheaper than OSM.

My .50 cent

Experience from my previous employer suggests that 6500 is fine for
normal IP (including full BGP tables) and L2 together. It is certainly
superior to any 7200 when it comes to DDoS handling capability (because
of hardware forwarding and ACLs).

Note that if you want to use the 6500 for STM-1 you need OSMs, which are
significantly more expensive than regular Ethernet modules.
