[c-nsp] Will the Cisco 2911 push GigE with NAT enabled ?

[Ryan West]

Might want to look at the 5525-X.  Rated at 2Gbps, so with basic services turned on should get very close to handling a gig with NAT enabled.  I'm not sure about FCS on the new boxes though.

If you need the full 1GB for VPN, yes, the 5585-X with SSP10 will be the best bet. It will probably be on the close order of 20k though.
