[c-nsp] recommended platform between Catalyst 3750 and 6500?

[Andrew]

I was thinking about that, but the 7301 is just as expensive as a
C6503E+Sup32.  I already plan to use a 2950 to provide port count (as
I don't really need 48 Ethernet ports of any type).

Besides, the Sup32 can do 15Mpps rates, while the 7301 is limited to
1Mpps (being a software forwarding platform, I believe).

It would be nice if one could get a 2600 (or something) with 512MB-1GB
of RAM and have that feed routes to a 3750, and have the 3750 actually
do the forwarding.
