[nsp] GEIP+ performance?

I'm looking for real-world performance information on the GEIP+.

Cisco claims throughput for the non-+ version of the GEIP is 400 Mb/s, but
we're seeing issues at around 150 Mb/s.  This appears consistent with the
performance tests in the Cisco white paper at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/ifaa/ifpz/ggethifpz/prodlit/geip_ds.pdf.

For the GEIP+, I see that Cisco is claiming 800 Mb/s throughput, but I
haven't been able to find any documentation on packets per second rates,
and I'm wondering if we'll still end up limited to around 300 Mb/s if it
really only doubles the performance of the GEIP.

What have people seen in terms of GEIP+ performance with the ~350 byte
average packet size I'm seeing here?

Thanks,
Steve
