I've heard conflicting reports, is a 7206 faster at packet switching than a 7507?
Greatly depends what's inside it. Sure, if your 7507 has an RSP2 (which basically is a 3640 on a blade) and legacy (meaning, non-dcef) blades a 7206 will beat the crud out of it. However, a loaded 7206 with a low-end NPE can choke when the 7507 with an RSP16 and recent VIPs will sail smoothly.
Even comparing a VXR with NPE300 to a 7500 with RSP4 and VIP2-50's, the 7206 will melt down and cease functioning properly on traffic levels the 7500 handles without breaking a sweat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
