What is the Real World Throughput of Cisco 1100 Series (C1100-8P and C1100-4P)?

[ryanpst88]

I can't find the actual throughput of the above.

The data sheet says Crypto Performance is 250Mbps and 150Mbps respectively but not what the throughput is without any sort of Crypto. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/1000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/datasheet-c78-739512.html

Has anyone had any experience with these devices, can they push 1Gbps? Or does anyone know where to find a whitepaper on them similar to this?

I would also like to know the answer to your question.. 

1) Routing performance without NAT/FW (I.e. No-NAT)

2) Routing performance with NAT

3) Routing performance with NAT/FW 

Can anyone out there help?

Thanks

I have pushed 1GBps over FTTP using NAT (1 User test scenario) on a C1112-8P

Hey,

I found this online, hope it helps!

According to this...

https://blog.router-switch.com/2018/05/cisco-1000-series-isr-naming/

The HSEC license completely lifts the crypto shaper on the device. Do you know if this affects the throughput limit of non-encrypted traffic?

ie, does the non-encrypted throughputs above apply to a device with standard IP BASE?

With the IP Base and SEC license, encrypted traffic is shaped at 50 Mbps. A performance license is needed only for encrypted traffic of over 50 Mbps. There are currently two types of performance license; HSEC and IPsec Performance. The HSEC will disable the shaper completely, whereas the IPsec Performance will only lift up the bar on the shaper to 250 Mbps for the 8 LAN port SKUs, and to 150 Mbps for the 4 LAN port SKUs.

Does this answere your question?

ISR 1100 Performance

Generic traffic throughput	Un-throttled	Un-throttled
Crypto traffic throughput	50Mbps (Default)	50Mbps (Default)
	150 Mbps	250 Mbps

There are not limits. Generic traffic throughput of ISR1K is Un-throttled

Hi 

Generic traffic throughput is un-throttled, what is the maximum throughput ?

Where can I find more information on C1111-4P performance throughput ?

[pritam.singha@global.ntt]

Since HSEC-K9 license support is also included in 16.7.1 and
later releases, the throughput limits refer to the “encrypted
traffic” rate Starting 16.7.1 Un-throttled crypto throughput limit is supported
Three levels of throughput supported with default being 50 Mbps
Un-throttled crypto throughput level implies the router is uncapped
from crypto perspective. Un-throttled throughput level CLI option
only visible when HSECK9 license is installed.

Also, adding supported routing features on IPB for ISE 1100 series.

The same question

[Joseph W. Doherty]

Of possible interest, see table 4 in https://fastreroute.com/cisco-routers-performance/.  And, possibly: https://miercom.com/pdf/reports/180731E.pdf.

I too would expect same or better performance for non-crypto traffic.

I also suspect, possible reason Cisco doesn't tout this ISR's performance is for the reason noted in one of @Leo Laohoo's postings in: https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/isr-1117-vs-4321/td-p/3416218
