I think that will be great. I predict that QOS will be a great possibility.
With 3950's at the edge marking the packets and the 3550 at distribution
making the priority decisions.

With VoIP taking center stage in the market, QOS is a must.

The other items will be more complex VLAN utilizing MLS. Since they are
specifying the EMI image this one is a no-brainer.

On the up side, the 3550 EMI ONLY does IP. So everything else is gone.

That's my thoughts. I too would be interested in other thoughts.
