The NPE-G1 is that it includes three Ethernet interfaces as part of the system CPU. These interfaces, which can run at any speed from 10Mbps Ethernet to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, are also on the same piece of silicon as the system CPU. There is no bus bottleneck because the interfaces feed directly into the CPU at extremely fast internal chip speeds. High-speed LAN interfaces that once had to share peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus bandwidth with other port adapters and I/O controllers can be moved to the processor to free up bus bandwidth for WAN port adapters.
• Provides performance of up to 1 million packets per second (PPS) in Cisco Express Forwarding switching (an increase of up to 250 percent over the Cisco 7200 Series NPE-400) • Offers three Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports that do not take up bandwidth points • Doubles the amount of available DRAM (to 1 GB) • Eliminates the requirement for an input/output (I/O) controller • Eliminates I/O controller LAN interface bandwidth points • Provides modular processors and the ability to upgrade • Offers improved price performance
