[nsp] RSP/VIP performance question

Hi,

I'm just trying to spec up a couple of routers, and given the lack of
information about proposed gigabit ethernet ports for the 720xVXR routers
(we don't need full speed, just more than 100Mbit!), it looks like we're
going to have to go with 7500's.

What I can't get my head around is the difference in performance between
the RSP2 and RSP4, and again between the VIP2-40 and the VIP2-50.

I understand that for some PA- cards, you need a particular VIP2, and I've
read the specs for all the cards, but nothing seems to give performance
details for these cards.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Simon
