[cisco-bba] NPE-G2?

Hi Mark,
	NPE-G2 supports the same broadband features that are supported
on a NPE-G1. Non-broadband, performance should be twice that of an
NPE-G1 and broadband performance should be slightly less than that.

	Unfortunately, as Stephen stated MPF support with NPE-G1 is
stopped and no MPF images will be released.
	NPE-G2 doesn't support MPF.

	Both G1 and G2 supports 16K Sessions (without any other
performance limiting features)

Regards
Prem
