Ed, all, 1. no clue. probably the usual marketing crap.
2. NPE has a single cpu that performs all the tasks. NSE has a PXF 'coprocessor' that can offload some tasks from the main CPU and therefore it could perform better in some cases. see: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/ifaa/prossor/nse1/ There were a couple of issues as the NSEs came out. But in the meantime they should run quite well. 3. The actual NPE/NSE models do not work in non-VXR routers. VXR-Models have a better/faster backplane. see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/ps348/ non-VXR 720x routers are end of sale ... hth, Reinhold On Fri, Dec 20, 2002 at 07:16:57PM +0000, Edward Sohn wrote: > Can anyone help me answer a few questions regarding this series router? > > 1.
