Think not only throughput but about pps also.
According to cisco doc ESP40 has ~24Mpps capacity, ESP20 has the same limitation.
So, you pick out all resources from QFP.
RA write the report where you can see this limitation - http://www.slideshare.net/RouterAnalysis/cisco-asr-1000-series-testing-results-and-analysis

Pete,

Thanks for this - I'll watch that preso and see if it adds anything useful.

You seem to be supporting my viewpoint, and I've also had an off-list reply
supporting TAC's viewpoint - so I'm not sure I'm any further forwards.

I'm currently working on a plan to replace the ESP40 with an ESP100 - but as
the ESP100 isn't supported in the ASR1004, I'll also have to do a chassis swap
to an ASR1006. My only remaining concern with this plan is whether the SIP40
can really do 40Gbps. If I stick 4 * 10G SPA's into a SIP40, can I run those
10G ports at line-rate (assuming sufficient ESP capacity)?

Many thanks,

Simon

It would be a single pass through the QFP. The SIP could also be a limiting
factor, but since you are split between SIPs that shouldn't be an issue.
The SIP 40 has 2x 40Gig lanes on the backplane. Are you doing crypto or
anything like that which would impact performance?

There is a great Cisco Live preso on the ASR1k architecture that might help
you get some ammo to go back to TAC with.

All,

I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get sensible answers
from
Cisco TAC, so thought I'd ask the educated masses who may have come across
this before...

I've got a Cisco ASR1004 with RP2, ESP40, 2 * SIP40's, and 8 * 10GE ports.

A snapshot of usage on these ports at peak is:

Interface         RxBps     RxPps          TxBps     TxPps
Te0/0/0   4,385,563,000   515,508    906,118,000   339,997
Te0/1/0   3,942,338,000   419,696    984,150,000   358,436
Te0/2/0   3,949,993,000   425,192    933,257,000   349,145
Te0/3/0   4,375,526,000   512,858    873,284,000   334,751
Te1/0/0   1,186,440,000   454,714  5,474,029,000   630,916
Te1/1/0     622,154,000   244,056  3,181,689,000   338,190
Te1/2/0     711,493,000   253,275  3,211,560,000   340,950
Te1/3/0   1,218,873,000   437,195  4,831,708,000   568,488

TOTAL    20,392,380,000 3,262,494 20,395,795,000 3,260,873

I'm seeing throughput issues on a portchannel consisting of Te0/0/0 and
Te0/3/0
(it won't go over 10Gbps aggregate)

Cisco TAC are telling me if I add TxBps and RxBps totals together, I get
40Gbps,
so I've reached capacity of the QFP (i.e. ESP40).

My arguement against this is that a packet which enters the router on
Te0/0/0,
goes through the SIP40 in slot 0, through the ESP40, through the SIP40 in
slot
1, and out through Te1/0/0 is still just one packet, so should only need
to be
counted once through the ESP, and once for each SIP. Hence, the throughput
on
the ESP is only 20.3Gbps on those numbers above.

If I poll ceqfpUtilProcessingLoad by SNMP, I see peaks of around 65%, which
would correlate with this level of throughput.

I'm assuming there are others of you using this platform. What sort of
throughput are you seeing? Am I right, or is the Cisco TAC engineer?

TIA,

Simon
