I’m certain the answer is “it depends.” Do you have ANY idea where the bottleneck is? The hardware is capable of much more than that. What does systat or top say? Maxed out CPU? Heavy interrupt rate? How many packets per second? Can you turn off flow-control at your switch? The ethernet

My 6501-50 can handle my 100mbps just fine, with gusto. And lan traffic it can do much faster than that, about 800mbps using iperf. Should be able to route 250mbps no problem. Some firewall settings might reduce that a tad. On Fri 25 Apr 2014 07:00:44 PM Bob Bishop wrote: Hi, On 25 Apr
