SUP720 vs. SUP32

Wed Mar 11 19:06:05 UTC 2009

Thank you to everyone who offered advice. I thinks it's clearer what my path should be.

Incidentally, I am using 7300/7200 based units with G1 RP and found that at 200M they start seeing 50% CPU load which is why I'm looking to go to the next step.

Again, thanks to all

Subject: SUP720 vs. SUP32

Anyone have any experience with SUP32? Please contact me off list.

I'm trying to evaluate a lower-cost alternative to the 720-3bxl.
I'm only pushing a few hundred megs of traffic, exchanging a few routes with less than 20 peers and don't see the need for a 720's worth of throughput in the near future.

Can the 32 handle a full table?
How does the MFSC2A compare to the MFSC3?
V6 support?

Thank you.
