3750-E Layer 3 performance

[2044418Puts]

I would like to know the Layer 3 performance of a 3750-E switch.

Is this more or less the same as the throughput in Mpps since CEF is being used?

Hi

L3 forwarding is done in hardware. The forwarding rates are 65.5 Mpps and 101.2 Mpps for the 24 and 48 port 3750E swtich respectively.

Hope this helps

See table 2 within: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps7077/product_data_sheet0900aecd805bbe67.html

If you plan on stacking units, take special note of "Stack-forwarding rate of 95 Mpps for 64-byte packets"
