<<Does the inclusion of full lookup table data and parallel processing in each card have a down side --perhaps in cost?

We need to ask Sector about this. Not my area of expertise. I wish it was.>>

Not mine, either Glenn. I never was on the engineering side on Networking. My experience there is more large company support and management. This is a Paul or Peter Algoet question.

I will venture a guess that the cost may be a bit higher, but probably not by much - and the benefits in performance far outweigh that. ASND has had the benefit of designing H/W in a low memory cost world, which only 3 years ago was not the case.
