The RSFC is a router on a daughter card. The NFFC-II is not a
router, but it will (among other things) re-write and forward at
L3 given an 'external' router such as the RSM.

The NFFC-II can be used on the Sup3, but as I said, you'll need
a router to do the routing protcol and set up the flows. The
RSFC will only work on a SupXG. The SupXG has integrated NFFC-
functionality.
