Re: OT- Cisco 7609 Switch

I think the difference is similar to the 3750-G/E series and the ME
models. One is built to support ethernet in a LAN or datacenter and the
other is to support LAN services such as Metro-e and VPLS. For example, I
don't believe the 6509 series supports MPLS at all which is the underlying
layer for most of these services.

Please respond to Alexei Monastyrnyi

About two years ago on Cisco Expo in Moscow I heard a question about
real differences between 6509 and 7609 platforms. The answer was that
those products, though looking "same-same" at that time, were to target
different user groups and even having common roots they would differ
more and more in features and cards supported over the time. Just a side
note which popped up in my mind.
