Does anyone have any comments about the 3700 series running on a full DS3?

Hold on! This could Hurt! I ain't certified by Microsoft!

 
What about them? You can use a 3725, or you can blow it out with a 3745. Both can support the DS3 with no issues.

how do you want to do a DS3 though? are you running BGP or any other routing protocol??

If you're running BGP then you should look at a 7200 series minimum due to the routing table sizes..

You really don't need a 7200 unless your planning on using the full routing tables with multiple connections to diverse service providers. You can reduce the size of the routing tables by a third. But always have the max amount of memory. Full routing tables are something you shouldn't play with unless your an ISP.

The other problem would be if you wanted to do Encryption on the link with a lot of tunnel end points. That can be a resource hog. Not sure if the 3700 has an encryption card.

Like everything in networking depends on what you want to do.
