I am currently running a Cisco 7206vxr with NPE-G2 and 2GB.  I am peaking at
200M of Internet traffic on one of the GigE ports with 40K pps aggregate.
CPU over the last 72 hours looks like the following:

I am running BGP and taking 2 Full Routes from 2 different providers.  I
also have 3 OC-3's and 1 DS3 connected to the router.  I am looking for what
router I should look at upgrading to or if there is plenty of beef left in
this one?
