NP6 network processors - offloading load balancing and network traffic

The four FPM-7620E NP6 network processors combined with the FIM module integrated switch fabric (ISF)
provide hardware acceleration by offloading load balancing from the FPM-7620E CPUs. The result is enhanced
network performance provided by the NP6 processors plus the network processing load is removed from the CPU.
The NP6 processor can also handle some CPU intensive tasks, like IPsec VPN encryption/decryption. Because of
the integrated switch fabric, all sessions are fast-pathed and accelerated.
