That would be where the NPE-G1 would be better than an RSP8; however
Isn't it somewhat wrong to compare the NPE-G1 to any RSP since most of the packets, most of the time, are handled by the processors on the VIPs and never bother the RSP other than flowing through its SRAM? Or at least a comparison should be NPE-G1 vs some combination of RSP and VIPs. If you take a 7500 as far as you can (RSP16, VIP6-80s), then how does it compare to a 7206VXR/NPE-G1? Cisco plainly admits that the GEIP tops out at around 400mbit/s, but it's based on the rather old VIP2-50. Anyone know if they plan to put out a more capable GEIP, perhaps based on the VIP6-80, which theoretically would double the GEIP's throughput? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
