I'm stuck with older hardware (VXRs, and GSRs) and trying to plan for its eventual demise...
At what point should one expect the G1 to actually top out on PPS? I've heard anecdotal claims of 200-225Mbps with voip-sized (200byte) packets for something around 125kpps, which is dramatically lower than Cisco's optimistically marketed number of 1Mpps. So assuming a 20 line ACL, how should one expect it to scale for traffic going to/from ports on the gigE interfaces? Should this performance drop when traffic is headed to the PCI buses? That being said.. how would a GSR scale in the same scenario? We're currently sending 150kpps onto an engine2 gigE board but anyone who's used the GSR quickly learns that engine2 cards weren't designed to do much for gigE other than to get to a BGP peer... Any experiential/anecdotal information to share? Thanks! _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
