The C-5 NP can support a wide breadth
of applications from access to edge to
core, such as:
The C-5 NP incorporates an unprece-
dented combination of functionality,
computing power, and data bandwidth in
a flexible, patent-pending architecture.
This architecture supports complete pro-
grammability from Layer 2 through Layer
7 of the OSI model, allowing the C-5 NP
to be used in a wide range of networking
applications. In addition, the C-5 NP’s
