Is the NPE-G2 stable? I guess there should be no problem in this regard, it's a pure central CPU design, but we never know. Also, the bottleneck in the 7200 seems to be the PCI bus latency for small packets. How about the 7304? What is the bus used on those beast? regards. -- Philippe Strauss av. de Beaulieu 25 1004 Lausanne http://philou.ch _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
