Hi Team,
How to calculate the NPE G1 router performance like total Mbps which current router is handling?
I got cisco 7206 NPE G1 router which has 3 Gig interface and running 600 Mbps traffic, surprisingly NPE G1 supports only 512 Mbps.
I calculated input and ouput bit rates of all interface which comes around 600 Mbps.
We believe it's wrong. Theoritically calculating sum of all packets/sec*1500*8 also giving wrong data.

The G1 actually represents 1 Mpps. For minimum sized Ethernet packets, 1 Gbps requires 1.488 Mpps, 1 Mpps should allow about 672 Mbps. Keep in mind, the forgoing is for traffic in just one direction. Also, you need to allow some CPU for other services. Larger packets require much less pps, for example, 1518 sized packets only require 81 Kpps.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks. 1 Gbps requires 1.488 Mpps. any calculaton can be given to understand better.
