[c-nsp] NPE-G1 throughput, with and without L2TP

[Vincent De Keyzer]

Hello,

 

imagine a 7200VXR/NPE-G1 with Gig 0/1 aggregating customers, and Gig 0/2
connected to an IP transit provider. What throughput can I expect (typical
Internet traffic): 500 Mbps? More?

 

What now it the same traffic is encapsulated into a L2TP tunnel to a remote
similar router? By how much will the throughput drop (due to CPU busy with
L2TP)?
