Interesting.  All I found on cisco was "default performance for the 4451
is 1 Gbit/s, upgradeable to 2 Gbit/s" - I saw the "boost" license in the
price list, but no explanation what that was in particular.

These are actually fairly amazing numbers.  Cisco should do more marketing
with them :-)

OTOH, they are goint to sell less 4451 if people find out that a 4321 
goes up to 2 gbit/s as well...  (and it's a bit ridiculous to have a box
that can do 2 Gbit/s and sell a "performance license" for it that caps
out at 100 Mbit/s...)

Thanks!
