Buffer limitations: NP6 <=> NP7Lite <=> NP7

[networkers]

As well known NP6 has internal packet buffer limitations. What about its successors, i.e. NP7Lite and NP7?

Are there any known packet buffer limitations with those chipsets?

What is the packet buffer size of each chipset?

- NP6: xx MB buffer

- NP7Lite: xx MB buffer

- NP7: xx MB buffer

Hi Networkers,

The exact buffer size may be proprietary design information, but NP7 and NP7Lite leverage a new architecture with enhanced packet queuing and scheduling capabilities that are designed to overcome the limitations of NP6.
