[c-nsp] CPU load on 7206 with 1200 DSL users

[Paul Stewart]

hi there.. on a NPE-1G it should sit around 20-30% range no problem.. if you
run 12.4.x it might be much higher, not sure if that has been resolved or
not yet....

Thanks,

Paul

Subject: [c-nsp] CPU load on 7206 with 1200 DSL users

We're considering moving approximately 1200 DSL and a handful of Frame Relay
users provisioned over 2 DS3s on an aging Redback SMS-500 onto another
router.  One of the devices under consideration is a Cisco 7206 VXR using
ATM RBE for the DSL provisioning.  The 7206 VXR currently has a NPE-300
which we might need to upgrade if we use it for this purpose.

I'm interested in the CPU average and peak loads I can expect with
approximately that number of users in that configuration or with other
still-supported NPEs.  We also poll all our devices every 5 minutes via SNMP
for bandwidth usage data so that can drive the CPU load up a notch. 
Each end-site would be provisioned on a separate subnet/interface with uRPF
enabled.
