Hmm - this makes me rethink... I was just about to order a 6506+SUP2/MSFC2
as an edge router (6 full tables, necessary max. throughput without impact
on the box 8 Gbps @ 10-20 Mpps (CEF/dCEF)).

I thought the platform was ideal for this, so what's the problem with
76/65 IOS versions?

Cheers and TIA,
