Noel, Tom, There are limitations on the 75xx's depending on the RSP/VIP setup you have. It's a distributed platform that does software based forwarding when running in dCEF mode. All packet are switched by the VIPs and never touch the RP. Therefore the switching capacity is a function of the speed of the VIPs and the features you have enabled in the packet path (ACL's, QOS, etc..). The short answer is there isn't a bandwidth concept like there is with the 72xx. However, you can overload the VIP with the right PA combination and features. The matrix of performance will depend on the features, ppps, and VIP type. There have been extensive discussions about this on cisco-nsp so if there are further questions I'd suggest we move it over there and I can add more.
