"Because they get more money if you buy a GSR, CRS-1, or ES20 line cards".


I can't comment on the 7609 specifically, but doing this with 7603 and 7604
plus Sup720/3B "just works".

(We've not done very advanced MPLS stuff, just basic L3 VPN and EoMPS, but 
both didn't give any surprises.  760x being used as P or PE devices.)

As far as I understand, VPLS will *not* work on Sup720 as PE devices - but
a P device won't see what's in there, so shouldn't care.
