[c-nsp] Advice on Core Swithes / Routers

[Chris Knipe]

Hi All,

I need a Layer 2 & 3 device that is fully capable of BGP, OSPF, HRSP, IPSEC,
NAT, and Clustering/Load Balancing certain inbound services.  The device
needs to terminate various Serial Interfaces (up to 8 E1's) as well as
provide 10/100 Ethernet on a switching as well as routing level.

I was thinking of a small 6500 - but I'm not sure about Serial interfaces on
the 6500.  Is there any other devices that I could possibly look at.  I
would like to hear some recommendations.
