I heard this a couple of years back from a cisco guy on a Networker's
presentation about router architectures
"well... Enterprise customers like to buy switches, 4500s 6500s, you
know, now Service Providers like to buy routers, 7500 10ks GSRs... what
we did was take the 6500, flip it on its side and rename it 7600, now
it's more Service Provider Friendly"
