Well the way I'm putting it to my Cisco rep is "Why should I invest in 3BXLs
instead of another vendor's solution?" I'm saying this repeatedly. Maybe
they'll get the hint.
I won't throw away the 7604s...I could totally redeploy them in my corporate
infrastructure. At this point they really are Cat 6500s. I don't mind if
they make a 7600-only train as long as the 7600s can still run 6500 code
then at least it makes them useful. Just not as edge routers. I bet
Juniper is lulzing this hardcore.
