I think that they are introducing the Cisco 7200
because is a real SP plattform :). Some of the
features that they can ask with the Cisco 7200 are:
- Cisco7200 as Label Switch Controller
- Local switching
- AToM - Like to like and Interworking. I don't know
whether AToM is suported on the Cisco 2800.
- MPLS TE - Inter Area AS Support
- MPLS TE - Forwarding adjacency
I am still looking what else is different.
Best regards,
