[f-nsp] Opinions on the FESX448

[Charley Kline]

Like another responder, we have a large deployment of the FESX's  
little brother, the FWSX, for L2 switching, and they have so far been  
completely problem free.

We do use some FES 12GCF's and FES X 424HF's for in-building routing,  
and they also work very well. There are a few annoying limitations  
(you can't do MAC filtering on a tagged port, for instance, and rate  
limiting is fairly restricted in how/where you can use it), but the  
L3 routing using OSPF has not given us any problems. They do indeed  
perform all IP forwarding in hardware at line rate.
