I have no idea what you did wrong with your 7301; I managed a bit more than 350 kpps - with small packets of course. Once you add enough bandwidth for that packet rate at large packet sizes, you need port channels, and those eat up CPU too... ASRs are a good choice if you need full features (albeit not all of them work) and hardware forwarding. If you need no features, or only a few, try one of the switches (3560/3750) Elmar. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
