It seems that GigE edge features (ACL, rate limiting) is scheduled to be
addressed with the 10-GigE port card for 12400, with the "Engine 4 with
extra sauce". It was supposed to be available at this time frame, can
anyone confirm or deny this ?
Amyway, the distributed architeture of GSR means you need to heavily
look, insist and beat them regarding having all the features you need on
all possibile media cards, but time has shown that so far it didn't
work.
So, my message to Cisco is that if Cisco wants to use the "distributed
versus centralized" slogan in the war against competition, it must
provide all features at all possible media interfaces: POS, GigE, ATM,
channelized Tn.

Does anyone know much about Cisco's new 7300 box? It looks like
its a step up from the other 7000 stuff (7200/7500) and targeted at
people who want GigE rates and full features, but don't need OC48s
OC192s, and 10GigEs.

Too bad GigE on 7300 isnt going to be available anytime soon (at least
according to the product briefing I got on 7300 a few weeks back).
Cisco works in mysterious ways.
Heh - the droids that I talked to indicated that the routing engine
would have two GigE's on it... Maybe its one of those mystical Cisco
tricks like "Oh look, we have this new amazing ROUTER called a 7600..."
Hmm, now that you say that, I remember that too. Perhaps it was that you
could not put anymore GigE into it than is already there? I remember there
was SOMETHING about it which made me think "why the heck doesnt it have
that from the launch?"
