[c-nsp] Cat6500 - Support for MPLS and IPv6

[Stephen Fulton]

Yes, Gert has made an excellent point about Juniper.  During the last 
year our Juniper SE has kept in contact regularly, despite the fact that 
we only have purchased two J-series routers.  I don't remember the last 
time I met with our Cisco rep, let alone a Cisco SE.  It's always 
conference calls from RTP.

That said, Cisco had what Juniper did not during our last round of 
upgrades, and honestly, if Juniper did have the L2 switching capability 
we required, then Juniper may very well of won our business.  That's 
changed now with their new switching gear.  Given time to prove the new 
platform, they may very well win our next round.

And the behavior of the 6500/7600 BU's will play a large part when that 
time comes.
