Doing 2.5G SDH/SONET on the 6500 is way expensive.  For GigE and a
limited amount of 10GE ports it's a nice box.

Read up the various discussions in the c-nsp archives about limitations
and drawbacks of the architecture, though - it's a switch with routing
bolted on, and it shows in some places.

(Nevertheless it's a trusty workhose, all our network runs on 6500s 
except for the lower-speed access stuff (E1, E3, STM1) which is on 7200s)
