about check the network-traffic performance of one Cisco 6509-E switch

[ITHK_ProdAlert_Network]

Dear all Cisco experts,

I have one Cisco 6509-E switch that contain two "WS-SUP720-3B 2-ports Supervisor Engine 720" cards.

The IOS version of the 6509-E switch =

IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-VM), Version 12.2(18)SXF8, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

I know only the command to check CPU & memory on 6509-E
- show process cpu
- show process memory

I would like to check the network-traffic performance of this 6509-E switch as below :
- the real time OR average number of network packets processed on 6509-E at overall scope (but NOT bind to any specific interface)
- the real time OR average bandwidth usage of network traffic process on 6509-E at overall scope (but NOT bind to any specific interface)

May you please suggest any Cisco command(s) can accomplish the checking of network-traffic performance on 6509-E ?

OR

Should I use netflow command(s) on 6509-E for collect the network traffic information at overall scope ?

Many Thanks !!!

Regards,

Roy

Unfortunately, I don't know of commands that might assist you (or even if such exist), but in general, the sup720 offers 15 Mpps in non-fabric mode and 30 Mpps in fabric mode, the latter is also independent of packet size.  If you have DCEF line cards, with installed DFCs, they offer additional Mpps, to that line card's ingress packets (unloading the sup).
