Gert, you don't want to explore the N3K, you'll have 6500 heartburn all 
over again.  URPF halves the route table size, max 16k routes (but v6 
routes count double), a separate memory space for host routes, very 
limited ACL TCAM and it has to be carved up for v4/v6 at boot time. 
NXOS for this platform seems very buggy, so one might end up doing 
endless code upgrades to get past showstopper bugs, only to encounter 
more bugs in the next build.
