Longer term goal is to cover edge too, it is run to completion NPU to my best of knowledge (or 2-3 on ingress, 1 on egress, identical npus, but different role/code, not entirely unlike Nokia FP4 pipeline-of-npus design, just way shorter pipeline than FP4). Long tail of ASR9k is long (GSR is still supported) but I think Cisco sees this silicon as eventually covering ASR9k portfolio, time will tell. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
