[nsp] 2600 series bandwidth potential.

[tbaranski at mail.com]

Does anyone know the bandwidth capabilities of 2600 series, the 2691 in particular?  I know the specs say 70kps with 64 byte packets, but I'm wondering how it does with full-size packets.  Specifically, I'm concerned about it being a bottleneck on a 100Mbit network (we're thinking of adding a pair of them on an existing network to run a routing protocol with a 6509 for failover reasons).

Has anyone tried pushing 100Mbits through one of these things?  Would I be better off with a UNIX box running Zebra?

Thanks,
Terry
