[c-nsp] Cat5000 and BGP

[Lawrence Wong]

Just a thought, considering that the RSM is actually a
RSP2, would it be possible to use an external 7500
series router (i.e. 7505 with RSP4) and trunk it to
the Cat5k to do the same?

The Cat5k CatOS is able to perform MLS
(multi-layer-switching) with the 7500, hence
effectively getting the best of both worlds (more
memory, IPv6 ,etc)?
