They are the same type as on the SUP. If you're happy with the features 
offered on those ports, you'll be just as (un)happy with the ones on the 
6724.

So basically, if you want deep packet buffers and shaping and stuff, 
they're not for you. If you just want to move packets and nothing more, 
they'll do fine.
