We are moving from a Cisco 7206 to a 7513, and I was wondering if we will be limited by bandwidth points on the 7513 (as we are with the 7206). From the sparse documentation I've found so far, it doesn't appear that this limitation exists in the 7513, correct?
This is really more a cisco-nsp type question. To answer, no, the 7500 doesn't have the bandwidth points issue the 7200s have. Each VIP has its own PCI bus(es) for PAs and then connects to the/a 1gbit cybus. 7500s have a whole new set of scaling issues. :) As long as you don't believe the performance numbers someone at cisco made up for the 7500 VIP datasheets, you'll be fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
