I'm probably wrong, but aren't the 7600s 40Gbps per slot vs the GSR only being 10Gbps per slot? and doesn't that mean that there should (fairly soon) be a new version of the GSR coming that ups the slot width?
The GSR is currently power and cooling constrained so it's not that easy to create new faster linecards, plus the fact that you need to invest in the 128xx fabric upgrade makes it not that much money efficient. Also expect any future linecards to be supported in XR only. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
