The Cisco WS-F6K-PFC3B is a high-performance Policy Feature Card 3B (PFC3B) designed as a daughter card for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720. It provides hardware-accelerated processing for essential network services, including IPv4 and IPv6 routing, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS). The PFC3B is critical for enforcing Access Control List (ACL) policies and facilitating hardware-based multicast replication at wire speed. It supports both Centralized Forwarding (CEF) and Distributed Forwarding (dCEF) when used in conjunction with Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFCs) on line cards. This module is an essential component for enterprise core, distribution layers, and data center environments requiring high-throughput policy enforcement and low-latency data flow.
