As I've mentioned before a couple of times on this list, we've pushed an NPE-G2 up to an aggregated forwarding performance of 950Mbps @ 90% CPU utilization. The box was running in a P role (way back when the network was much smaller), so IPv4, IPv6, IS-IS, MPLS, BGP for IPv6, LDP, RSVP and BFD. No ACL's (pure P role), no QoS. 9,000 bytes MTU on all interfaces. Cheers, Mark.
