It is my understanding that there will never be IOS SLB on the
RSP720. Have you been told otherwise? It sure isn't supported
today, re. http://tinyurl.com/2f4mqc.

The CSM works it's magic using network processors on the module,
but it's still configured from IOS, close to the same config as
with IOS SLB. However, the CSMs are not supported in 12.2 SR.

A later release should add RSP720 support for the ACE, which also
works on network processors (though much faster than the CSM),
but is configured from a separate (IOS-like) command line.
