[c-nsp] ICMP and SUP720

[Ronen Isaac]

Hello All...
I have a customer who is looking to upgrade his current Extreme switches because they are located in a facility where ICMP scans occur regularly and the CPU gets overloaded quite often.  I was thinking the SUP720 but I need to know if the 720 handles ICMP traffic in hardware instead of software?  The SUP2/MSFC2 gets bogged down too quickly so I am hoping the 720 will do the trick but I can not find any hard documentation.  Any thoughts, other suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays.


Kind Regards,
