for those of you looking at the sup720-10G or 7k ( I have sets of both of
them as well ), take a look at Ciscos new 4500X 1U 10G/1G switch/router.

I think it might not work as a multi-provider BGP solution but it is
interesting enough that instead of a pair of 7009s we are going to look at
this, we may even think about replacing one of our 7010 pairs ( VSS vs VPC
when you only have 1 VDC  can be a fair trade ).
With an SFP+ ZR optic this can do just about anything an X2 or XenPak
6704/6708/6716 could do.
