Route Processor Module (RPM)

The Route Processor Module is a Cisco 7200 series router redesigned into a double-height card to fit in a MGX 8230 chassis. The RPM front card provides a Cisco IOS network processing engine (NPE-150), capable of processing up to 120K packets per second (pps). The front card also provides ATM connectivity to the MGX 8230 internal cell bus at full-duplex OC-3c from the module.

Initially, three types of single-height back card types will be supported: four-port Ethernet, one-port (FDDI), and one-port Fast Ethernet. Each module can support two of these back cards.

The RPM enables high quality, scalable IP+ATM integration using multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) technology.
