As a box designed with the enterprise datacenter in mind, the E- series looks to be missing several key service provider features, including MPLS and advanced control plane filtering/policing.
Ah, because Cisco does either of these in hardware?
Yes. PFC3 inside Supervisor 32, 720 and RSP 720 for Catalyst 6500/Router 7600 series perform both of these features in hardware. The article mentioned in this thread compares Force10 E against the 6500 series. james
