[c-nsp] N7k as Enterprise core MPLS P/PE

[Phil Mayers]

I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on this platform as an MPLS P/PE 
router.

It probably seems odd, and that an ASR9k might be a more obvious choice, 
but for an enterprise MPLS core router it has a few nice properties - 
lots of 10gig, goes fast, decent OS and commonality of sparing and parts 
with the datacentre (if you use them there).

I'm assuming an ASR9k is a lot more expensive than an N7k?

Why *wouldn't* you buy an N7k in this role?

Just pondering...

Cheers,
Phil
