[c-nsp] Catalyst 5500 RSM speed limitations.

[Jason Alert]

400Mbps is the connection speed between the RSM and the switch.  150Mbps
is close to the performance limit.

If your design permits, you can run more than 1 RSM and split the
routing up.  Otherwise, you're better off setting up a router-on-a-stick
like Gert suggested.

Does anyone know what the total bandwidth limitations are on the
WS-X5302? I
know that the chassis reports that it can do 400Mbps, but I am seeing
packet
loss and high latency when pushing 150Mbps on it. Aside from moving to a
more current platform, are there any other RSM modules that can handle
more
than what this one can?
