[c-nsp] 3750X?

[Phil Bedard]

I've seen a presentation on them but that was over a year ago, and there were a lot of things "coming" which weren't there yet. 

We've been looking at the ALU SAS-M platform recently.   They are 24xSFP and have models with 2x10GE and CES modules as well.  They support OSPF/ISIS/LDP/RSVP-TE (1:1 FRR only) but do not have much routing capability (16K routes max right now) but if you are looking to extend VLL/VPLS services they may work for most folks.   The pricing on them is pretty good too.   Not sure on IPv6 support, think it's a roadmap item.
