Actually I wonder what most have decided to replace them with. To build a
good 76xx platform seemed like way to much cash, and as I need 3x GE ports, a
juniper seemed very costly as well.
As much as I hate to loose the redundant processors, I decided to move
forward with the purchase of a 7206VXR with the NPE-G2. This looked like
plenty of horsepower to run the GE uplinks to my providers, do BGP for a long
time to come, and feed a couple T1's and T3's I have as well.
Hopefully it will have been a good choice, granted I haven't really seen a
lot posted on the NPE-G2's, but it looks like it should perform well..
