I don't have the data handy for the actual byte size traffic. Actually. I don't know if I've ever had it, I seem to remember seeing it though.
As for production, I don't mean "testing" in production, I mean actually monitoring a network in production. I've seen a 9900, in ips mode, in real network traffic achieve those speeds. Tuned, of course.
