WS-F6K-PFC3B Catalyst 6500 Sup720 Policy Feature Card-3B PFC3B

The Supervisor Engine 720 features the PFC3B, which is equipped with a high-performance ASIC complex supporting a range of hardware-based features. The PFC3B supports routing and bridging, QoS, and multicast packet replication, and processes security policies such as access control lists (ACLs). The Supervisor engine 720 has a field-upgradeable Policy Feature Card3. The PFC3B is equipped with a high performance ASIC complex supporting a range of hardware based features. The PFC3B supports IPv4, IPv6 routing and bridging functionality, quality of service (QoS) and multicast forwarded and ACL-based policies.

The Cisco Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 Series Supervisor Engine 720 WS-F6K-PFC3B is a family of Supervisor Engine(s) designed to deliver scalable performance and rich set of IP features in hardware. Its hardware-based feature set enables applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) with quality of service (QoS) and security features. The Supervisor engine 720 integrates a high-performance 720 Gbps crossbar switch fabric with a forwarding engine in a single module, delivering 40 Gbps of switching capacity per slot (enabling 4-port 10GE and 48-port 10/100/1000 density line cards). With hardware-enabled forwarding for IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, the system performance is capable of 400 Mpps for IPv4, 200 Mpps for IPv6 traffic, with features and 1024 VRFs each populated with up to 700 routes/VRF for MPLS.
