We have several in production but have never pushed them to their limits. One that comes to mind is a 3825 with max memory/max flash - it's going DHCP services to 1200 students in a university residence, handing off a few meg of voice traffic to those students and running two full BGP tables providing IP Transit at 100 meg peak to the university as well. Nothing really fancy but the CPU never peaks above 9% on average.
Another 3825 is currently running as a POP router handling about 130Mb/s of peak traffic, runs a good size OSPF table and has 16 port Gig card fully populated with each port doing routing. Peak CPU is 11% average on that box. I have seen some customers push them with 300-400Mb/s of traffic but am not sure how they really handled at that point - whether or not the CPU is pushing it or not. Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-2G comes to mind if you don't want any hassles with higher traffic levels - of course you're into higher budget too ;) Paul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Wojciechowski Sent: July-29-10 5:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] GigE Throughput on 3825 Dear List: Does anyone have any real world experience on GigE to GigE throughput on the 3825 or know of any technical docs that might suggest what I can expect? The docs that I were able to turn up suggest "up to one half T3/E3 speeds" but where does that leave the Gig interfaces? I would *HOPE* to get better than 23Mbps! http://lmgtfy.com/ links welcome. :) No crazy ACLs here, CEF is enabled and running IPV4.
