Robert,

We run VIP2-40s in amost all of our routers. If you are going to be
pushing a lot of traffic, buy them. The best thing about them is that
they support distributed switching. It dropped the CPU load on our
routers by 40%.

I just have a quick qustion.
    I'm in the process of determining weather or not to purchase several
VIP cards and modules for a few 7513's I have at remote locations
accross the United states.  I spoke with some friends I have at cisco in
referance to known related problems with the VIP cards (according to
cisco there were close to non) but I am interested in some input from
people who are already using VIP cards on 7513's.

Thanks,
Rob
