You were quite lucky there. In the network I last operated, we've had more than several having exact issue as described at around 20.000 pps, regardles of the actual bandwidth. Add to that any form of QoS or other goodies and it will start agonizing death at around 18.000 pps. Not at all bad platform, but severely limited throughput-wise. > The first thing that happens is the IOS will disable cef and when you see > that in your logs you have about 30 seconds until it's all over. This will happen only if it runs out of memory. Throughput will either hit CPU hard, or interface buffers will start being overrun (exactly what was observed here). > Yes, I can see the three GigE interfaces on the front of the NPE and I feel > the same as you do. It's painful. ASR1000 is much better in this regard. -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert Mailto: [email protected] Telephone: +1.810.326.1444 Live Assistance, Please visit: http://www.ipexpert.com/chat eFax: +1.810.454.0130 _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
