[c-nsp] Cisco 7600 Vs Cisco 6500

[Alex Rubenstein]

Err, say what?

Anyone who knows anything about cisco hardward, including cisco people, 
don't ever say, or think, that the 7600 is a replacement for the 7500. 
Thats just goofy.

The 7600 is a 6500, but in a package 'real service providers' can deal 
with. The 6500 can handle all of the line cards a 7600 can, LAN, WAN, or 
whatever.
