64 byte packets and at the max rated pps per port -
14,000 pps something for 10 Mbps Ethernet. However,
vendors get cute with the calculation - for example,
some, use ingress only while others use ingress and
egress - effectively double counting. Others use
cumulative ports with oversubscription, which would
exceed the backplane and be unreachable. Short answer
- don't use pps to buy a switch and ask the vendors
'how' they calculate.
