[c-nsp] Nexus 7000

[Daniel Hooper]

"Microsoft is currently performing rigorous testing of the Nexus 7000
Series for security, manageability and performance in a lab environment"

I doubt Microsoft would be doing any type of WAN/mpls/backbone testing
on it, just from the small amount of information available it looks to
be good for combining your SAN switch fabrics with your lan/data switch
fabric ... does this just seem like a bad idea to anyone else?

The documentation out for NX-OS shows support for most IP routing
solutions around today. It will be interesting to see more doco from
Cisco on what this box can actually do and find out where Cisco plans to
slot it into the family tree (perhaps the illegitimate child of Mr.
CRS-1 and Mrs. 7609?)

I saw mention of VRFs, OSPFv2 and 3, and mentions of IPv4 and IPv6 among
the existing documents, but no mention of PPS or anything else routing
related.

Hopefully more docos are on the way which will detail all of this.
