[c-nsp] Cisco's new 4500-X 10G Aggregation Switches

[Simon Lockhart]

Did you read the datasheet?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps10902/ps12332/data_sheet_c78-696791.html

- IPv6 support in hardware, providing wired-network-rate forwarding for IPv6
  networks and support for dual stack with innovative resource utilization

- Dynamic hardware forwarding-table allocations for ease of IPv4-to-IPv6
  migration

122 Mpps routing for IPv6 compared to double that for IPv4.
