A lot of people use SUP720-3BXL and RSP720-3CXL for full
BGP table routing. This will work just fine until the
IPv4 routing table reaches 800k entries or something (if
you want to do IPv6 at the same time, you probably don't
want to go over 800k IPv4 routes and 50k IPv6 routes to
have a little bit of margin of the around 1M routes the
XL sup can handle).

Or route churn which quickly shows the inadequacies of the 
CPU in those control planes.

An NPE-G1/G2 has a much quicker CPU.
