[c-nsp] Is Catalyst6509 with SupII or Sup720 suitable for L3 Traffic?

[Hyunseog Ryu]

I couldn't agree with that.
Cisco has Cisco 7600 router, which is branded for L3 router, but it is
essentially same as CAT6500 ethernet switch.
If you use SUP720, it should be fine with L3 traffic.
Basically CAT 6509 hardware is same as Cisco 7609 router.
