[c-nsp] 2821 Performance/Capacity Planning

[Brian Vowell]

I read the PDF on the website detailing the IPSec performance on the new 
2800-series routers, but how well do they stack up against other routers 
when doing basic BGP routing or stuff like that?  Is there a quick way 
to test performance on them without bringing down the network?

The reason I ask, is we have one full BGP feed from one provider going 
into a 2821, and the plans are to multihome with several other providers 
in the near future, but I don't know how many feeds the 2821 can take 
before it gives out.  I'd like to be able to compare the 2821 against 
our older 7204.
