[c-nsp] 7500 performance (was: Re: IO 7200 GE Improve Performance and help with the CPU Load?)

[Rodney Dunn]

As long as you want just basic IP with very little features and
you make sure it's all dCEF switched you will probably be ok.

Watch the VIP cpu loads though if you pack the oc3's and etherchannels.

It's all software, although distributed, switching.
