[c-nsp] 6500/7600 with Sup720 opinion

[Mike Bernico]

Agreed.  If you haven't yet, see my notes from yesterdays "tag-switching
on the 6500" thread.

The most frustrating thing in my recent experience is that we end users
can't see Cisco internal bugs.  It makes identifying the problems we've
been having difficult.  

Since many of the severe and critical bugs in the 7600 are internal
someone should start a public bugzilla database of Cisco bugs found by
network operators so we can bug scrub against it.

You do need the 3b or 3bxl variant for MPLS.  I haven't tried it on the 
vanilla Sup720.

Regarding SXD, I suggest reviewing release notes.  Use the bug toolkit.

The issues we've seen are sure to pop up, along with many others.  Some 
revisions have been deferred I think.  Bug fixes in each revision are 
significant.
