Are you referring to an OC12c that you're using as a single 622 Mb/s pipe,
or an OC12 that you're bringing into a SONET add/drop mux and breaking out
STS-1 slots for DS3s or OC3/OC3c slots?

If you're talking about an OC12c, your choices would probably be:
Cisco 7600
Cisco 10000
Cisco 12xxx
Juniper M-series - I think even an M5 could do an OC12c, though I'm not
	sure.
Other offerings by Riverstone, Avici and others that I'm not as familiar
with.

You can put an OC12c into a Cisco 7200/7500 *in theory* using an OC12c DPT
card, but the router will likely crap out long before you come close to
saturating the pipe.

For a channelized OC12, assuming you want to do the breakouts yourself,
you could use pretty much anything that supports channelized OC12 (Cisco
10000/12000, Juniper, etc) as long as it can break the slots out the way
you want.
