[c-nsp] new Cisco routers 1800/2800/3800

[Koen Peetermans]

And there is talk about > 500 Mbit for some routers that have gigabit
interfaces. Could it be that the high end platforms (2851,38x5) are really
much faster then the low-end (1841,2811) ?? Nothing about CPU's used
mentioned but I think cisco has finished using < 100 Mhz CPU's in their
platforms - it's about time.

At least the platforms now also have decent base memory and memory upgrade
capabilities. And the replacement of the old PCI bus by a dedicated ASIC
which does all the connections to HWIC,NM, and AIM's is a excellent step
forward. (And since apparently the ASIC is shared between all these
platforms it's saving a lot of $$$ for cisco I presume - keeping their
financial benefits up to level). The electricity bill will be higher,
looking at the watts consumed by the new platforms.

Well, luckily my boss has now forgotten the idea of trying Huwaei routers
since the only thing they had more was a faster CPU and more memory. I can't
explain how happy I am that cisco made the smart thing ;-)

Kind regards,

Koen.

	Actually, the Cisco web site references a Miercom report, which
includes testing from ethernet to ethernet. Apparently, with a single,
bidirectional UDP flow of 1460 byte packets, the 2811 can pass 130mbps, with
firewall, nat, and logging enabled.

Has anyone got one of these new model routers yet?

They all have dual Ethernet - gigabit in some.

I'm interested to know what the ethernet-to-ethernet routing performance
is like.  There doesn't seem to be any talk of pps etc. on Cisco's web
site.
