Hello Chi keung,

I found the following information after a search:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2285#section-3.6.1

"3.6.1

Forwarding rate (FR)

   Definition:

      The number of frames per second that a device can be observed to

      successfully transmit to the correct destination interface in

      response to a specified offered load."

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1242#section-3.17

"3.17

Throughput

    Definition:

                The maximum rate at which none of the offered frames

                are dropped by the device."

Follow the links for further details.
