[AusNOG] powerful routers in core/edge routing/switching

[Ankit Agrawal]

Just clarifying guys, I do need full table for both v4 and v6 from different
vendors.

6500 is getting old and the port density is not really there due to slot
limitation of 40 Gbps and obviously it can't cope with the full routing
table. Nexus definitely overcomes the port density and slot limitation
issues but I am not sure how it will handle the routing table even though
its more powerful.

I guess going the Cisco way, I will need both Nexus and ASRs.

Ankit.

Full tables wasn't listed as a requirement.  Just BGP and OSPF.
