A lot of people are deploying C76xx as peering routers ...

... which should be prohibited by law. Actually, C76xx should be
prohibited by law.

I've done my share of Cisco bashing in the past - but I have to say
that 6500/7600 worked pretty well as peering routers at my previous
employer. Great capacity, hardware forwarding, hardware ACLs and
policing. Handled Gbps sized DDoS attacks just fine.

6500/7600 as MPLS PE routers is another story altogether...
