Our only concern with the current EARL in the RSP720 and 
SUP720 is that it has a number of feature limitations that 
we've become accustomed to on the 7200 platform, but are 
supported on the ESP on the ASR1000 platform.

Hopefully, the next EARL will resolve these issues, but who 
knows what other limitations it may have, when they may be 
resolved, or if support will come both to the 6500 and 7600, 
or just one of these?

Suffice it to say, the ASR1000 provides some decent support 
for non-Ethernet interfaces as well, without the need to 
purchase extra SIP modules that you'd need in a 7600, should 
you require such interfaces in there.

Just our view.

Cheers,

Mark.
