Whoa ... and $C is marketing this box (1002F) as a provider box? I was
looking into junking a couple 7200VXR for them, but seeing our current
prefix total already well above 300k on the internet, I'm sort of
worried whether this is a good idea ... at least for the one that was
going to do our DECIX peering ... add to that VRF prefixes that may also
be present ... with the v4 exhaustion, I reckon the Internet will most
likely be at a combined 500k prefixes between v4 and v6 in a year ... is
$C really this short-sighted?

OTOH, the 1002F will of course still be a nice box in the IGP area in
the event it's not sufficient for the uplink ...
