Solved: Switch performance

Does switch have throughput specification like Firewall?

As noted in that particular datasheet, "The Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX3S Switch (Figure 1) is a 1RU switch that supports 3.6 Tbps of bandwidth and 1.2 bpps."

With that specification, you can basically run every single interface simultaneously at full speed and not run out of switching performance capability.

Using most modern enterprise class switches, most performance issues are due to overall design vs individual switch performance.

- For specific models google with model name and append 'datasheet' to your search to get specific info's

Madam, it all depends , in Riemann geometries the earth can be perfectly flat! The nun thanked him , he tripped and fell forward : the poor animal had forgotten that he might be living in a Riemann geometry too!

Hi,

Because I just can't find throughput on datasheet.
That why I ask such a question.
