[CATYO]

Hello. 

Is there anyone who can explain what exactly BIG difference between SIP200 and SIP400 ?

They have same four bays, support almost same wan interface cards. 

Please help me : )

Hi,

The difference is mainly speed:

The Cisco 7600 series router is an edge aggregation router, and the SIPs provide a cost-effective solution for customers seeking moderate- to high-port density and line rate services:

•The Cisco 7600 SIP-200 provides WAN edge aggregation through lower-speed and low-density SPAs for network environments requiring regional office connectivity to headquarters, or collapsed LAN/WAN deployment.

•The Cisco 7600 SIP-400 provides higher-speed, high-density link aggregation for network environments requiring leased line and metro aggregation.

•The Cisco 7600 SIP-600 provides a high-speed interface for WANs and metro aggregation.
