The block diagram shows 9 & 10 on PCIe. I have had performance issues on both of these ports and have pulled most 1200 routers from production.

I haven't really seen any issues with them, at least on the 1100AHx2. I have one original 1100 and one 1100AH left in the network and those aren't doing much. The bigger issue I've seen with the 1100AHx2 is the fans quit and the whole thing needs a power-cycle to get them going again. I've seen this on every single one I have deployed.

Does anyone know how bad that underperformance is? I've been pulling my hair out for days chasing a performance issue on a backhaul, and it turns out one end of it is plugged into port9 on an RB1200. Could it make my 200 meg link only do 90meg?
