It's important to understand the differences/caveats with NetFlow,  
uRPF, and ACL construction with 7600 before making this decision.  Due  
to the differences in the way these features work on 7600, many SPs  
prefer to use 12000 at the edge (NetFlow is generally the most  
important consideration in such cases).  The new ASR1000 is also worth  
considering for this kind of application, if it supports the  
interfaces/speeds you need.

    It doesn't pay to dispute what you know to be true.
