Right.  9001 is officially still supported, and while I could use a
few more 10GE ports, it does what is needed in these POPs - namely,
transport about ~6-8 Gbit/s (!!!) with a decent number of 10 Gbit/s
ports (so we can go over 1 Gbit on each of them, even if the total
throughput is not all that much), full BGP table, proper incoming 
anti-DDoS rate limiting (the usual reflective UDP crap).

We're a small shop - our BGP edge is all 10Gbit/s, but due to 
"we want it distributed so no box has all the links" the total
traffic in the box is much much lower than it could do - so the 
extra bang of the 9901 and the accompanying price tag makes it not
very interesting.
