Keep in mind that you're likely limited to ~330Mbps per IP slot, so 
you'll get nowhere near line rate GE.  I believe Rodney has said more 
than once that 7500 GE solutions were engineered for SPs who were 
standardizing on GE links within their POPs, not to provide a full 
gigabit pipe for the platform.
