A lot of people are deploying C76xx as peering routers ...
<rant> ... which should be prohibited by law. Actually, C76xx should be prohibited by law. </rant>
I've done my share of Cisco bashing in the past - but I have to say that 6500/7600 worked pretty well as peering routers at my previous employer. Great capacity, hardware forwarding, hardware ACLs and policing. Handled Gbps sized DDoS attacks just fine. 6500/7600 as MPLS PE routers is another story altogether...
