Well, I did say up to a 7200, and a 7200 won't exactly forward an OC-192 line rate. No interface cards either.
Precisely my point...no interface cards. Yes, you can route ethernet, and maybe even a T1 or two...you can't do serious T1 or DS3 aggregation or anything larger than an OC-3 or so with that PC. It's fine for people in colo or with a couple of LANs to route about but it isn't a practical solution for those of us with real networks to run. So, will you and everyone else who brings this up, please stop. If it were as practical as you claim, a lot more people would be doing it.
Of course, a GSR won't forward it at line rate either, AFAIK. It pretends to nicely, though...
I think you'll need to be more specific than GSR when making this statement. --msa
