ACE and SLB

[communication.boy]

I saw the following doc

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/slb/configuration/12-4t/slb-12-4t-book.html

and I was thinking about the difference between this SLB IOS feature and Cisco ACE device . Are they same other than performance ?

The ace has many more features and is a current product. IOS SLB is not and will be end of support in less than 12 months.
