RE: Cisco Vip Cards.

Be careful. Cisco recognizes that VIP2-40's with OC3-PA's and any other PA
co-habitating the VIP card will cause problems (packet loss under peak
conditions). This is due to the huge overhead the SARing takes on the VIP's
CPU. Cisco will not support multiple PA's within a VIP2-40. This is the
primary reason they came out with the VIP2-50.

Cisco will not support multiple PA's within a VIP2-40.

I do not believe this statement to be true.

randy

what they won't support, I believe, is anything in the second adapter slot
after the first PA-(the 0c-3 atm thingie) is installed....limitation has
to do with the PA- (oc-3 atm), only. TE
