the NPE-G2, we average about 30-40% CPU with those connections, no extra cards in device, just using standard 3 gigabit ports on the NPE, one for inbound sessions, one for internet and one for radius.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

and we do a lot of L2 Fibre connections to business customers, biggest reason is to get netflow for new data retention laws.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
