RE: OT: VSS 6513 or 6509-E

Usually you want to have one VSL on the SUP (SUP to SUP) and the other VSL(s)
on another card that is 10G VSL capable. 6513 really just buys you extra slots
at the price of some slots not having the dual channels. This question really
needs more such as the design you are trying to accomplish. I personally only
have used VSS on 6509Es and 6506Es. Usually, if you have the $$$, you'd have
two VSS cores.
