Gigarouter performance

Thu Oct 15 19:50:46 UTC 1998

Are you referring to ascend's old netstar version called 'gigarouter' or
the general terminology for a gigabit router?  If you are talking about
ascend's gigarouter, they are now known as 'GRFs' and have several
different models capable of a wide range of performance.

The ascend version ATM OC-12 Cards will support 512 VPI/VCI's mapped over
each port, and we've recently seen routers that have ~60 sessions mapped
across them.
