Throughput for Cisco 9300 switch

[ahsan.ayub@ngc.com]

We are trying to find default aggregate throughput specification for the Cisco 9300-24T-E.  I have looked on the data sheet and do not see it, and have not found it anywhere else. 

We currently have a Cisco 4331 ISR which has a  default throughput aggregate throughput is 100 Mbps according to the data sheet. 

Is there a similar specification for the 9300 switch? 

Thank you.

The router is different compared to the switch, the router is WAN Throughput, we can not compare router vs switch. (both are different roles)

Thanks for your reply. 

We want to use the switch as a layer 3 device to encompass routing and switching.  I don't see a comparable spec for the 9300 in the data sheet.   What spec would be comparable?

You need to understand what is the role of the switch and Router, they function different, but some features can be combined in some new model of Routers they act as switch and Router (adding to switch module)

The switch is a switch, it has some function of Routing, but it can not replace 100% router functionalities.

as per your original post - We are trying to find the default aggregate throughput specification for the Cisco 9300-24T-E.

the document provides the switch throughput.

The architecture and functionality of UADP 2.0 are largely unchanged from previous generations. The key UADP 2.0 capabilities are as follows:

●     Packet bandwidth and switching throughput: 160G/240G (80G/120G per core)

●     Forwarding performance of 238 Mpps

●     Stack bandwidth: 480/320 Gbps

●     Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table: 32,000/16,000 IPv4/v6 direct attach and 8000/4000 IPv4/v6 longest prefix match entries

●     Packet buffer: 16/32 MB (8/16 MB per core)

●     Dedicated NetFlow block with 64,000/32,000 IPv4/v6

●     5000 of security TCAM Access Control List (ACL) capacity
