[c-nsp] Re: Cisco 7600 vs Juniper M7i

[Raju Raghvan]

As far as qos is concerned ,it would have to do a lot of policing 
.....moreover there would be lot of traffic on GRE tunnels with traffic 
policy routed....It must also support l3 dot1q subinterfaces on which the 
traffic would terminate on l3....on top of this there would be a huge number 
of L3 acl's for blocking virus traffic etc.,...with this configuration do 
you think a 7600 or an M7i would fair better..thanks...
