I don't think this is strictly true, maybe it's true for several cases. But even without recirculation, I think you can take variable time through J2 and if you wanted, you could make it perform pathologically poor, it is flexible enough for that. You can do a lot of stuff on the lookup pipeline for the first 144B in J2. Then there is the programmable elements matrix for future functions, can I put every frame there with no cost? You can use system headers to skip devices inside the pipeline. It's hard for me to imagine with all this flexibility we'd still always guarantee constant time. J2 is much more flexible than what J1 was. But of course it's still very much a pipeline of different types of silicons, some more some less programmable. So I don't know. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
