[AusNOG] Cisco ME3400 vs Cisco 3750

[Skeeve Stevens]

The old style gig-only aren't going to help with 10Gb... you will need the
X models with 10Gb cards to do that.

The ME's are the same as the 3750's except with MetroEthernet features for
playing with Q-in-Q and other cool stuff.  They are normally used as CPE
equipment.
