[nsp] Catalyst 6500 Hybrid

[Church, Chuck]

Bryan,

	If you're going 6500, might as well do the sup720.  It's only
about $1000 more than the sup2/msfc2/pfc2 with 256 mb.  And you've got
512 mb RAM right off the bat.  Not to mention HW GRE/NAT/IPv6 support.
Keep in might that if you're doing uRPF as a security measure, neither
will work that well if you exceed 128,000 unicast routes, since the PFCs
max out at that.  Looks like the  
WS-SUP720-3BXL with the PFC3BXL is the one you'd want.  It's not cheap,
but it's mighty fast...

As a solution to my 7206VXR high cpu utilitzation looks like we're going
with a Cat6500 w/ either sup1a-msfc2 or sup2-msfc2.

Can anyone comment on performace or issues w/ hybrid mode?  I would like
it to do a combination of routing(bgp required) and switching.


Thanks in advance,


Bryan
