I have 7600's and 7500's in my backbone and 7200's on the edge. My question is that when I look at the feature navigator the 7600 with Sup 720 is missing a lot of basic features required to be a core router of an MPLS Backbone. Features like Traffic engineering fast reroute, MPLS enabled Netflow are missing on this platform, is this platform not a good candidate to be a Backbone router for a service provider offering MPLS services??? 7500 on the other hand it seems 7500 seems to have support for the MPLS related features.

MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE)
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - Automatic bandwidth adjustment for TE tunnels
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - Configurable Path Calculation Metric for Tunnels
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - Fast Reroute (FRR) Link and Node Protection
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - Interarea Tunnels
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - IP Explicit Address Exclusion
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - OSPF Support
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) - Scalability Enhancements
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) SNMP Notification Support
MPLS Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
