Regarding Cisco 7600 Series Route Switch

[Md. Mohashin Khan]

Dear Expert,

I need a clear concept for using my core network as a router with full BGP routing table with many bgp peers. And also need data throughput minimum 5gb. 7600 series route switch is right choice for core network and what is the RSP?

Please suggest us 7600 is fit for over all.

...full BGP routing table...

Do you mean the full Internet routing table?

If so, I'm unsure the 7600 could handle "...many bgp peers", even the XL variant (which is generally required when working with very large route tables).

The 7600 RSP is the supervisor card for the chassis.  It's more or less the the equivalent of a 6500 VS-S720 supervisor.  You can read about it here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/7600-series-routers/product_data_sheet0900aecd8057f3b6.html

The 7600 series is also getting rather old, although I don't recall EoL yet for the RSP or -S chassis.

If you only need 5 Gbps you might look at the ASR 1K series (or the ASR 9K series).

Hello Joseph W. Doherty

Thanks for your significant reply. If we are not going to full internet routing instead of partial routes then is it feasible for us.
