Agreed. If you haven't yet, see my notes from yesterdays "tag-switching on the 6500" thread.

The most frustrating thing in my recent experience is that we end users can't see Cisco internal bugs. It makes identifying the problems we've been having difficult.

Since many of the severe and critical bugs in the 7600 are internal someone should start a public bugzilla database of Cisco bugs found by network operators so we can bug scrub against it.

You do need the 3b or 3bxl variant for MPLS. I haven't tried it on the vanilla Sup720.

Regarding SXD, I suggest reviewing release notes. Use the bug toolkit.

The issues we've seen are sure to pop up, along with many others. Some revisions have been deferred I think. Bug fixes in each revision are significant.

It does well peering, so far. MPLS works. QoS works. All the usual Cisco "caveats" that go with a newer platform apply. Enjoy the upgrade ride. The 12.2(18)SXD train has been a wild ride.

A couple of pages I read at cisco.com stated that the plain Sup720 didn't do MPLS, but that you'd need the 3B or 3BXL for it. Are you doing MPLS on a plain Sup720?

Are you still using a 12.2(18)SXD ios? What issues have you had, and which (if any) versions work?
