The Sup3/PFC3 may be on the horizon. It will likely support MPLS "better". The Sup2/MSFC2 (well - the SUP2U is generally recommended) can also support MPLS. I don't know how many customers they have doing this, but it is probably the third largest MPLS platform next to the Cisco 12000 series and the Juniper M series routers. I don't know the exact figures, but if anyone does, please follow up in a post. > How does the OSM module act as far as MPLS is concerned.

No. Cisco has never really required this for their midrange routers (7x00 series) except for NetFlow services. You may feel that you need Advanced Network Services support from Cisco (ANS), but this costs quite a bit extra. -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=55914&t=55894 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
