The problem is that Cisco hasn't been forthcoming.  To me it seems the data
was hidden in a corner of a spec sheet.  Meanwhile sales teams are still
saying the PFC3B is acceptable for taking a full table.  And the failure to
produce a Sup32-3BXL or similar is also frustrating - I don't need Sup720
backplane speeds on my edge router.
