Hi Alex,
With three upstream providers, you may have issues with the maximum number
of routes. The 720 3BXL only supports 1 million routes, sounds like alot
but if you have three full international tables, the table isn't big enough
as each one will be around 336,000 prefixes.
Cheers,
Bill

The key requirements of this equipment is a blend of upstream transit
providers, all hand off' s will be Ethernet either fiber or copper and the
6500 on paper gives me a stupidly large port count for almost any
10/100/1000 copper or fiber ports, with even the option for 10gbit plus
large cost effective performance.
I'm not too concerned about security (firewall deep inspection) within
this device as I want it purely for speed / routing / BGP downstream, but
netflow and having control of packets is equally as important so maybe the
6500 platform might not be the best.
On the security side I'm considering a pair of Juniper SRX
3600 if they
prove to be stable.
Thanks
