[c-nsp] VS-S720-10G alternative

[adam vitkovsky]

If Two 10G uplink ports isn't enough 
ME 3600X 24CX has 4x10GigE - though it has other stuff you won't need and
it's a 2U unit and it's twice as expensive as ME 3600x

I have a requirement for a 1G/10G access switch also for a meet-me room
project I am working on, and the 4500-X ticks all the boxes - except for the
MPLS capability.  The lack of this feature means I will likely have to
backhaul data back to an MPLS capable switch or an ASR1k in another
location.

I don't need a unit which can handle 24x10G (240G) of sustained throughput
but I do need to plan for a handful of 10G handoffs which may do 2 or 3 Gbps
in the near future.  Two 10G uplink ports isn't enough, and the 7600
platform looks to be ridiculously expensive for this sort of thing (not to
mention space and power requirements).

A cross between a 4500-X and ME3600X/ME3800X would be an absolutely killer
box.  Then again, I guess that would involve Enterprise and Service Provider
BU's within Cisco talking (Gert?) ;)
