No BGP, Yes OSPF, Yes ACLs, Yes CEF, Yes PIM,

Let me know what else you want.

My experience was a bit different. I could have probably pushed 500Mbps with 
large packets, but my traffic is composed of a lot of small packets and 
micro-bursts. So in my case, I don't quantify it's performance in terms of 
bandwidth, but rather in terms of the volume of packets. I would see it die at 
or above 50k PPS forwarding through two interfaces. I now use line-rate devices 
(ASR1002's) in this role and the 7200/7300 series are on the test rack.

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've seen an NPE-G1 configured with just IP addresses and 2 BGP peers (2 
prefixes in each, none out), no ACL's, no VPN's, no QoS - basically, real 
vanilla.

It was forwarding ~920Mbps in total (I know, weird, huh) broken down as 3x 
interfaces each doing a little over 300Mbps.

As a real serving edge node, I haven't been able to get more than 500Mbps total 
out of it.

Cheers,

Mark.
