7206 is doing BGP, uRPF, and minimal ACLs.  The 1%/Mb ratio has been pretty
constant for several years.  Our traffic is getting much closer to
symetrical in/out than it has in the past. One router currently running
at 32Mbs in and 22Mbs out is at 30% CPU.

Each DS-3 has its own 7206, fed into the core with A/B FastEthernet.
