Link Peripheral Processor

The Link Peripheral Processor (LPP) is a multipurpose platform that
serves as a strategic tool for economically introducing an array of network
simplification applications. Provisioned with appropriate "personality cards"
(referred to as interface units) and software, the Link Peripheral Processor

The Link Peripheral Processor allows a variety of interface units (up to 36) to
occupy the same cabinet, and in many cases, the same shelf. Enterprises
can introduce and administer new applications with minimal expense,
mixing and matching as necessary to meet the requirements of each
individual switch. The single-shelf Link Peripheral Processor, resident on
the SuperNode SE, ensures low startup costs for applications that require
12 or fewer personality cards.
