Cisco 7200 Series Input/Output Controllers

Hi,

We have 7206 VXR running NPE-G1, we are looking for the GigE cards for 7200 which supports upto line rate and came across

Cisco 7200 Series Input/Output Controllers

The datasheet for the same doesnt say anything about line rates. If anyone has practical experience of using these cards, please provide your feedback.

Thanks

For guaranteed GigE line-rate (duplex), you need about 3 Mpps.  A NPE-1G is rated at 1 Mpps and a NPE-2G is rated at 2 Mpps, for the whole chassis.  Do you see a possible problem?
