hi, thanks for the reply.
the document you pointed out (http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf) was good for the start, thank you. but it was very limited. it just had the result for switching of 64Byte frame packets, not any static or dynamic routing results nor any results about other frame sizes. as i know, the normal frame size of ordinary networks are 1500Bytes which is very bigger than 64Byte. for example, in this document, the maximum switching throughput for a 2821 router is ~90Mbit/s which is very low for a gigabit router (of course it's because of very small frame size). we have universal RFC 2544 for performance benchmarks of network devices like routers , etc. i was wondering and it's just a thought, shouldn't cisco or other vendors give performance specifications of their products based on this RFC or other standards? doesn't the customer need to know for example in his/her normal network, what is the throughput of this router with say static routing or else? aren't these information important for the buyer? if yes, are any documents with these information exist? thank you. ________________________________ From: Bøvre Jon Harald <jon.harald.bo...@hafslund.no> To: bored to death <bored_to_deat...@yahoo.com>; "cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net" <cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net> Sent: Tue, August 31, 2010 1:46:24 PM Subject: SV: [c-nsp] Cisco Routers: Performance benchmark Not all as requested, but a start: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf Jon -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] På vegne av bored to death Sendt: 31. august 2010 10:15 Til: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Emne: [c-nsp] Cisco Routers: Performance benchmark hi, for my research, i was looking for some documents about performance specifications and benchmarks of cisco routers, such as 2800 and 3800 series. oddly, i couldn't find any good document about these aspects of routers, on cisco website or by searching in google. the benchmark parameters i'm looking for, are standard things like maximum throughput, router throughput with different frame sizes (64B~1500B), routing protocols throughput and latency (throughput of router on ospf, rip, bgp, ... routing protocols), latency, etc. can anyone help me with this? does anyone know any documents which describes cisco routers' performance parameter values? if not, does anyone have any suggestions where may i find my answer (what forum, mailing list, ...)? thank you. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
