Notes from Cisco NAG Meeting, as with NANOG notes, please don't complain, they are mostly for me.
Cisco Midrange Routers:
MCP = "Midrange Converged Platform" aka 7200 replacement
Business Drivers... 50% is Enterprise, 50% SP
Bandwidth
Integrated Services & App Awareness
"Carrier Class" Availability
Power Requirements - density, cost, "Green"
Voice Communications
Time To Market and speed of feature delivery... the industry needs a more powerful "Swiss Army Knife" ... BETTER than the 7200
2/4/6U Chassis Sizes
5/10/20/40 Gbps forwarding
High Availability for a product this size/price point
Integrated Services (Firewall/IPSec, etc. without additional hardware)
State of the art QoS
Okay... I'm not blogging my notes this time. Mostly just listening and interacting. :) Nothing to see here, move along!
