Steinar Haug On the other hand, 6500s can do both L2 and L3 rather well, including BGP.
Aren't most of the 6500 blades the same as the 7600 ones anyway? Between these two IMHO we are looking at a blurry distinction between a router with very good switching capabilities and a L3 switch with very good routing capabilities. Michel.
