Hi, I was wondering, what real life performance can one expect from an NPE G1, considering mostly vanilla IP routing/forwarding? (no ACLs, no VPNs, running CEF and MPLS VRFs, OSPF/iBGP for routing protocol, and utilizing the integrated Gbit interfaces as well as 1-2 STM1 PAs on the 7200 VXR chassis) I know the performance charts from Cisco talk about 1 MPPS for the G1, which equals to ~640 Mbit throughput @ 64 bytes per packet - to what extent is that "worst case"? I know on the NPE300/400 cards, the "worst case" throughput pretty much is the real life throughput - does the G1 perform better by using HW forwarding? I would like to see some real throughput in the 1Gbit/s range, assuming that flows that could fill it up rarely use 64bytes per packet, but 1k and upward ...
Thanks, -gg _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
