The 4500 and 6500 are indeed Catalyst switches. The architectures differ
in terms of performance depending on the supervisor being used. Cat6500
sup32 provides 15Mpps, Sup720 up to 400Mpps. The 4500 provides greater
throughput than the sup32, however sup32is based on bus architecture
line whereas the 4500 have six 2G (FD) serial connections to supervisor
with various over subscription depending on line card
The 7600 utilizes supervisor 32 or 720 but can increase performance with
the addition of a SIP card (200,400,or 600)
The 7200 is a relatively low end router designed for medium size branch
offices. It provides up to 2Mpps throughput(npe-g1 or g2 processing
engine) however all packets are processed in software (CPU) as opposed
hardware ASIC on 7300 and 7600.
Keep in mind the througput numbers are for full duplex (marketing
fluff), Sup720 utilizes a 360 bus archictecure, sup32 16, 4500 is
caluclated based on number of slots
Hope this helps
Rob

Subject: 45xx, 65xx, 72xx and 76xx
As i know that the 45xx and 65xx is catalyst, and 72xx and 76xx is
Router,
However, does anyone know the main differenet on these equipment?
i have been asked as before "why use 65xx for core not 76xx?"
Regards and Thanks
