Yuck. Unless you have very few flows you do not want to use MSFC1/PFC1. This platform would be good for a file server with few but highspeed flows.
This system costs somewhere around 1300.00 more than a: Cisco 7505 w RSP4 256 Plus (2) VIP 2-50/128 and 3 PA-FE-TX
Obviously the Catalyst is a better unit. But will it be as "burned in" and robust as the venerable 7505 ?
The 7505 will probably handle lots of flows massively better than the SUP1A. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
