CIsco 7206VXR w/NPE-G1 Question

Fri Jan 30 16:47:14 UTC 2004

Does anyone have definitive speed results on the 3 "built-in" Gig ports
on the NPE-G1?  I know that they aren't attached to the PCI Buses, and
don't consume bandwidth points, but all of that is mute.  Can all three
of the ports do line rate Gig?  The Gig PA is limited to 400Mbps.  I
have seen posts that allude to the fact the max throughput on the 3 Gigs
are 800Mbps.  It's is like a big mystery that cannot be solved.  With a
"J" M7i, I know I'm going to get line rate per port up to the total
forwarding capacity of the FPC.

We are trying to create a comparison matrix and any info you have would
be great.

One more interesting feature - if you need a 4th GigE port, you can add
the GigE I/O card which still uses none of the bus bandwidth points.
The buses are fine for OC3 and below...
