Even if you've never had a failure I'd still like to know, thats just as important. We have a mix of 6500/7600, all SUP720 (some VSS). All chassis have dual SUP's (probably ~240 or so chassis) and haven't had a bad SUP in quite a long time. (4 years maybe) Our 7609's (non -S) are used to

Many of you are mentioning dual-homed customers, which of course is always an option. What I meant though is that it's very rare to find a set up where every single customer is dual-homed. So, in a typical deployment, do your line cards fail long before a SUP/RSP, or vice versa? For those that
