Cisco 881 and 1941 max throughput level

[Adnan Razi Khan]

what is the Cisco 881 and 1941 max throughput level. Can confirm below?

i saw 881 20Mbps

1941 25 Mbps

I'm responding from my phone, so I don't have access to that data which is on my PC, but what does max throughput mean to you?

Reason I ask, maximum throughput on software based routers, like the two you mention, is very, very dependent on the attributes of the traffic and config.  Published max throughputs are most often totally unrealistic in "real-world" networks.  Further, due to quirks of particular platforms, performance curves aren't always linear or hold to the same relative performance ratios between platforms.

Attached you'll find an old Cisco datasheet for the performance of various routers, including the 880 and 1941.

I've also attached an old Cisco White Paper that goes into performance of various router platforms, under different conditions, including the 880 and 1941.  Take note of the differences between the two documents, and/or the performance differences, for same router, between table 1 and figure 1 in the White Paper.
