That's it

Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48TS-L

107.1 Mpps

Thanks mark alot , but can you tell me how to calculate it ?

[Mark Malone · Accepted solution]

Its not how its calculated its the actual hardware and what Cisco say it can push per second

Here's the doc shows what each 2960 type is capable of , X series are slightly faster t6han standard while xr can hit 130 mpps

As Mark has noted, you can not calculate what the hardware will do, either the vendor needs to tell you or you can test the device's performance.

However, you can calculate what PPS rate is needed for "wire-speed" Ethernet.  For example, non-tagged Ethernet, for minimum size packets, needs about 1.488 Mpps per Gbps.
