* The 1550 model requires PacketWise v6.0.1 or higher.

** No extra partitions are specifically allocated for dynamic partitions. This model can have a maximum of 128 partitions, which can be a combination of static and dynamic partitions.

*** PacketShaper can support more hosts and flows, however these figures represent the ideal maximums for producing optimal results. It is normal and expected to see the number of concurrent hosts at its limit.

**** 1000-SX = 1000Base-SX w/SC Ports (fiber optic)
