[c-nsp] in praise of the cat6500 Re: Flow tools

[chip]

So, 2 slots for sup720's and fill the rest of the slots with 6704's
and you can do 28 line rate 10G ports.  Packet rate can get a bit
dicey when it gets really high on the 6704's but other than that,
fairly solid cards.  Minimal routing means that you should be able to
use that Sup720 for a while.
