Hello,

        I have two performance questions.

        First, I heard that the 7200 with a NPE-G2 drops to 10% of spec (from 
2Mpps to 200Kpps) with BGP and a few ACLs enabled. Is that accurate? Am I crazy 
to think I could get 30% of spec out of any software router doing BGP and some 
ACLs?

        Second, on the 3560, policy based routing isn't done in hardware AFAIK. 
What kind of impact will this have on performance? Spec says they can do 10s of 
millions of pps. Will a bit of PBR hurt enough to drop that in a very 
significant way (say, dropping it under 2Mpps)?

        In general, what's the best way to figure out realistic performance 
numbers (without testing of course)?

Thanks,
-Michael
