[c-nsp] GEIP speed vs. GEIP+ speed.

Thanks for the reply. We seem to be pushing about 260M on the few we have
now so just wanted to know where our limit is going to be before I replace
them with GEIP+ cards. It sounds like we are at that point now.

Thanks again.

Greetings Troy,

IIRC the former GEIP is VIP2-50-based and the GEIP+ is VIP4-80-based. Having
similar hardware architecture and data throughput capabilities would suggest
~ 300-400 Mbps "published", which I would interpret as 150-200 Mbps average
depending upon your configuration (YMMV). I would also guesstimate
throughput|capacity from a L3 switching perspective of approximately 100-120
Kpps for the GEIP. I think I read some caveats regarding memory and such,
but I believe current code requirements have successfully mitigated these
concerns.

HTH,

I know that Cisco states that the GEIP+ can do 800+Mpbs in the 7500 series
but I was not able to find anything about the GEIP. Knowing the limitation
of the VIP's speed, what could one expect to get out of the GEIP?

 

Thanks.

Troy
