Hi Tyrone,

There is a new Sup320 (320Gbps) coming for 4500 in another month's time.I am not sure about the avialbility dates on the same.We do have support for enhanced routing capabilities as well as MPLS support on this.Please check the same with your Cisco's account team.

HTH, Please rate if it does.

Amit, do you know if the Sup320 will support full routing table of the internet?

That would be a cracker!!

Tyrone,

I know that it supports IPv6 in hardware but I am not sure whether it supports the full internet routing table. Please get in touch with your Cisco account TEAM and they should be able to give you all details.

HTH,please rate if it does.

Oh thank you very much!!

Tyrone,

The new Sup can handle upto 256K FIB entries. The total internet routing table size is around 240K entries. So it is much closer to that.

HTH,Please rate if it does.
