So, talking about that... what do you recommend to put into a core 
network (insted of 7500) to support gigabit traffic rate??? A box like 
Cisco 7301 can do that job?

This box need to do about ten BGP-4 peers connections (two or three full 
routing), VRRP/HSRP like the diagram and support about 400 Mbps traffic 
in/out through then.

            |             |             |              |
            +------|------+             +-------|------+
                   |                            |
               GiE Trunk-----VRRP/HSRP------GiE Trunk

Today I've got two 7513 with one GEIP+ each doing that job, however I 
can reach just 150 Mbps (dCEF is enabled).
