CISCO NPE-G1

The Cisco® 7200 Series introduces its newest processor-the NPE-G1 (Figure 1). The Cisco 7200 Series Network Processing Engine NPE-G1 (NPE-G1) addresses the demand for performance and flexibility by doubling its processing capacity and enabling unprecedented LAN performance. Benefits of the NPE-G1 include the following (see Table 1 for details):

• Provides performance of up to 1 million packets per second (PPS) in Cisco Express Forwarding switching (an increase of up to 250 percent over the Cisco 7200 Series NPE-400)

• Offers three Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports that do not take up bandwidth points

• Doubles the amount of available DRAM (to 1 GB)

• Eliminates the requirement for an input/output (I/O) controller

• Eliminates I/O controller LAN interface bandwidth points

• Provides modular processors and the ability to upgrade

• Offers improved price performance

Features/Benefits

Performance of up to 1 million PPS in Cisco Express Forwarding switching

Dramatically increases the performance of the Cisco 7200 Series

3 fixed 10/100/1000-Mbps ports (RJ-45 or gigabit interface converter [GBIC]) directly on the processor

Maximizes LAN connectivity and performance without taking up bandwidth points or midplane capacity

256 MB (default), 512 MB, and 1 GB of DRAM Are available

Doubles the amount of DRAM available on the Cisco 7200 Series, which offers the following benefits:

• Supports more routing tables

• Supports more Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) virtual routing and forwarding instances (VRFs)

• Supports more sessions for broadband aggregation

• Enables higher scalability on features such as NetFlow, Network Address Translation (NAT), access control lists (ACLs) and more to incorporates the functionality (flash memory and auxiliary and console ports) of the I/O controller Reduces costs (Note: an I/O controller can still be used) Supports a third peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus to the I/O controller slot frees the current I/O controller ports from bandwidth limitations, allowing 2 PCI buses to be dedicated to the port adapter slots modular enables maximum investment protection through the ability to upgrade processors supports Cisco IOS® Software.

Supports a wide range of IP network services including quality of service, MPLS, broadband aggregation, security, multiservice, compression and IPSec Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption.
