You miss the mention of "SIP-200".  That's a whole different beast again,
the SIPs have local CPUs that can do things like VPLS, and possibly NBAR
(note that I have no idea whether the SIP *can* do NBAR, but "interfaces on
SIP boards" generally have different restrictions than "interfaces on
c6k line cards").
