The 60mpps (30mpps) forwarding rate per slot is pretty anemic considering a 6704-10GE w/ DFC will do 48mpps per slot. This is obviously for heavy duty back end applications and not satisfactory for front end delivery to the internet. The 6500/7600 is still the obvious sweet spot for data centers specializing in content delivery to the internet.
The CRS-1 is really cool but cost way too much. The 8 slot system even has a lower total bandwidth capability than the 7609. It doesn't shine until you go to the 16 slot system. -- LR Mack McBride Network Administrator Alpha Red, Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 1:51 AM > To: Tom Storey; Pete Templin > Cc: mack; cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Nexus 7000 > [snip] > > 60Mpps IPv4 unicast per slot, 30Mpps IPv6 unicast per slot.
