Re: OT- Cisco 7609 Switch

About two years ago on Cisco Expo in Moscow I heard a question about
real differences between 6509 and 7609 platforms. The answer was that
those products, though looking "same-same" at that time, were to target
different user groups and even having common roots they would differ
more and more in features and cards supported over the time. Just a side
note which popped up in my mind.
