[c-nsp] 6500/Supervisor SUP32 as Edge router

[Robert Hass]

Hi,
Is good idea to use 6500+SUP32 as Edge router terminating about 40-50
customers VLANs and doing on these VLANs traffic-policing (CAR) ? I'm
not familiar with limitations on 6500 regarding QoS and queueing.

VLANs will be connected via GE dot1q from 6 access switches (Catalyst
2960), each customer VLAN need to be policed from 2Mb/s upto 140Mb/s
(aggregate traffic is now 600Mb/s). On few VLANs we're using
policy-based-routing. Currently we're using 7200/NPE-G1 but CPU usage
is now on 80-90%... Traffic is incrasing about 50Mb/s each month.
I need policing/shaping, OSPF, BGP, PBR, ACLs and uRPF.

Maybe better idea is go to 7304/NSE-100 (GPL 24k USD) or Juniper M7i
with 2xGE (GPL 30k USD).

Thanks for help.
Robert
