That's actually where the problems raise!!

I mean what sort of tasks that 4500 and 6500 series can perform that bunch
of 3750 and some routers cannot do?

when should an organization migrate to 6500 or 4500? needing which services
lead an organization to leave its devices and buy 6500 or 4500?

Is there any definite traffic criteria that leads to buy these ? (these to
line of switches offer high packet per second rate in hardware)

Thanks
