Thanks a lot Dennis for your info.

Just one more question.
Does this 2nd cpu process everything the 1st cpu does? Or does it have a specific role, to process l2tp only?

For example...
will it provide any help on QoS?
will it provide any help on netflow?
will it provide any help on acl parsing?
will it provide any help on routing/forwarding?
