Well, as the underlying architecture of ASR9k and 6807/6500 is way
different (NPU vs. EARL), it is actually *not* the same engine inside.

Just some of the chassis paint comes from the same can :-)

I think you're confusing N7K with ASR9K here :-) - ASR9K is "router",
not "l3 switch" (and N7K indeed shares the same engine with the 6500 family).
