Given that the 3750 is not acceptable, then what exactly would you propose for a 48 port multigigabit router, capable of wirespeed, that does /not/ hold a 300K+ prefix table? All we need is a model number and a price, and then we can substitute it into the pricing questions previously posed.
If you disagree that the 7600/3bxl is a good choice for the fully-capable router, feel free to change that too. I don't really care, I just want to see the cost difference between DFZ-capable and non-DFZ-capable on stuff that have similar features in other ways.
If using the 7600/3bxl as the cost basis of "the upgrade", you might as well compare it to the 6500/7600/sup2 or sup3b. Either of these would likely be what people buying the 3bxls are upgrading from, in some cases just because of DFZ growth/bloat, in others, to get additional features (IPv6). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
