The NSE-1 was originally designed to try to improve throughput by using Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF), but the implementation of PXF seems to have been buggy from the start - to the point where it's common to hear of people running NSE-1s with PXF disabled. In that case, the NSE is roughly equivalent to an NPE-225 in terms of packet forwarding performance. The NPE-G1 and G2 are much more powerful in that regard. Search through the archives of this list from this month and you'll find at least one other NSE vs. NPE thread. You can get to the archives by going to the appropriate URL that's at the bottom of each message that gets sent to the list. jms _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
