WAE-674-K9 performance question

[ROBERT T]

Can anybody tell me how much bandwidth a WAE-674-K9 WAAS appliance can handle? I understand that it can handle a specific number of TCP sessions, but I'm interested in how much data the box can push through it (mbps).

I cannot find anything that states that.

Thanks

Hi Robert,

A WAE-674 with standard amount of RAM has a Target WAN BW of 45 Mbit and an "Optimized LAN throughput" of 150 Mbit/s.

These figures are sizing guidelines and are as such not hard enforced.

Take a look here (It's an old version, but the figures have not changed) :

Or try the WAAS 5.4 Sizing Guidelines here https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-56689 .

Hi John.

Yeah, but you won't find the 674 in there, because it's not supported on 5.4.

Good point !

Neither of the two links work.

The information you gave me regarding the throughput was what I was looking for.

Thank you both!

Robert
