7304 NSE-150 with 2 GB SDRAM, 256MB Flash, 4x GE, Spare
The Cisco ® 7304 Router is designed for the network edge where high-performance IP services are required to enable profitability, service differentiation, and business agility. It is widely positioned as a WAN aggregation router in enterprise and high-end customer-premises-equipment (CPE) deployments or as a low-end provider-edge router in service provider deployments.
The NSE-150 is the forwarding engine or route processor for the Cisco 7304; it uses Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) technology to deliver hardware-accelerated network services with up to 3.5-Mpps forwarding rate; it also has an 800-MHz microprocessor CPU to support a rich feature set in Cisco IOS ® Software with high performance and scalability. With four onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports, the NSE-150 also increases the overall port density of the platform and maximizes the value of customers' investments.
