Predictable Performance

• 136-Gbps switching fabric

• Layer 2 hardware forwarding at 102 mpps

• Layer 3 hardware-based IP Cisco Express Forwarding routing at 102 mpps

• Layer 4 TCP/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) hardware-based filtering at 102
mpps

• No performance penalty with advanced Layer 3 and Layer 4 services enabled

• Software-based learning at a sustained rate of 10,000 hosts per second

• Support for 55,000 unicast + 16,000 multicast MAC addresses

• Support for 131,072 entries in routing table (shared between unicast and
multicast)

• Scalability to 4,000 virtual ports (VLAN port instances)

• Bandwidth aggregation up to 16 Gbps through Cisco Gigabit EtherChannel
technology

• Hardware-based multicast management

• Hardware-based ACLs
