There is often a hierarchy of switching elements, with a centralized host switch and with remote switches located close to concentrations of users. performance and twice the aggregate bandwidth of previous model VIPs, the Versatile Interface Processor 4 (VIP4) enables high-performance switching and scalable and WAN intelligent network services to meet the needs of high-performance applications. The VIP4 serves as an ideal platform for enterprise and service-provider networks that require high performance and processing power to support service-enabled edge and core applications. The VIP4 is available in two models, the VIP4-50 and VIP4-80.

Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. . A Cisco 7500 series router with the MIX-enabled chassis and the DSP-farm capabilities of the digital voice port adapters provides a high-density voice and fax gateway solution to connect private branch exchanges (PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). ), the public switched telephone network (PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network.
