Hi,

all we know Cisco 7200 VXR has a 1,2Gbps backplane. This mean a serious 
limit for PA-GE adapters deployment on this platform. My question is if 
the new NPE-G1 overcome this limit. But from what i understand the 3 GE 
interface on the NPE processor board are not limited of that backplane 
bandwidth not using backplane at all, am i right? And if i'm right what 
performance limit I can expect moving traffic across GE interfaces on 
the NPE-G1 board?
