We have have one npe-g1 in production network , doing very well under 12.2.14S.Actually it's switching some 60k pps with 30% cpu utilization . 802.1q GE , pos , bgp , isis - standart stuff.My shoot is -> don't expect too much from that box - it's 3x better than npe300 but it's still general purpose cpu based. regards Piotr Marecki
