RE: the new 6509 OSR

[baburn - Bart Burns <baburn () acxiom com>]

My understanding is that the ESR will serve as high-density aggregation for
traditional WAN circuits.  56Kb to DS-3.  The OSR will serve as high-density
aggregation for DS-3 ot OC-192.

I thought that the ESR was the new 75xx class box?
