Forwarding Rate & Bandwidth 2960X / 3850

[mlinder01]

I saw that the Cisco 2960X Switch has higher Forwarding Rate/Bandwidth than the newest Cisco Switch 3850.

- Forwarding Bandwidth - 108 Gbps vs. 88 Gbps

- Forwarding Rate - 95.2 Mpps vs. 65.5 Mpps

Are 2960X informations maybe calculated with Stacking values?

Thank you very much

Hi,

The forwarding rate for both models appears to be the same.  For both switches the forwarding rate is 130.95 Mpps.

See table-10 in this link for the 2900 series
