All, I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get sensible answers from Cisco TAC, so thought I'd ask the educated masses who may have come across this before...
I've got a Cisco ASR1004 with RP2, ESP40, 2 * SIP40's, and 8 * 10GE ports. A snapshot of usage on these ports at peak is: Interface RxBps RxPps TxBps TxPps Te0/0/0 4,385,563,000 515,508 906,118,000 339,997 Te0/1/0 3,942,338,000 419,696 984,150,000 358,436 Te0/2/0 3,949,993,000 425,192 933,257,000 349,145 Te0/3/0 4,375,526,000 512,858 873,284,000 334,751 Te1/0/0 1,186,440,000 454,714 5,474,029,000 630,916 Te1/1/0 622,154,000 244,056 3,181,689,000 338,190 Te1/2/0 711,493,000 253,275 3,211,560,000 340,950 Te1/3/0 1,218,873,000 437,195 4,831,708,000 568,488 TOTAL 20,392,380,000 3,262,494 20,395,795,000 3,260,873 I'm seeing throughput issues on a portchannel consisting of Te0/0/0 and Te0/3/0 (it won't go over 10Gbps aggregate) Cisco TAC are telling me if I add TxBps and RxBps totals together, I get 40Gbps, so I've reached capacity of the QFP (i.e. ESP40). My arguement against this is that a packet which enters the router on Te0/0/0, goes through the SIP40 in slot 0, through the ESP40, through the SIP40 in slot 1, and out through Te1/0/0 is still just one packet, so should only need to be counted once through the ESP, and once for each SIP. Hence, the throughput on the ESP is only 20.3Gbps on those numbers above. If I poll ceqfpUtilProcessingLoad by SNMP, I see peaks of around 65%, which would correlate with this level of throughput. I'm assuming there are others of you using this platform. What sort of throughput are you seeing? Am I right, or is the Cisco TAC engineer?
