Maximum Throughput of Cisco 4948

[Bryan Joseph Clarin]

Hi,

Does anybody know the Maximum Throuput of a Csico 4948 using its Layer 3 capability? Is it 72mpps for Cisco 4948 and 102 mpps for Cisco 4948 10 Gigabitethernet?

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi,

it is 72m PPS.

from the data sheet:

The Cisco Catalyst 4948 delivers wire-speed  throughput with low latency for data-intensive applications, using a  96-Gbps switching fabric with a forwarding rate of 72 million packets  per second (mpps) in hardware for Layer 2 to 4 traffic. Switching  performance remains high regardless of the number of route entries or  Layer 3 and 4 services enabled. Hardware-based Cisco Express Forwarding  routing architecture enables increased scalability and performance.
