[c-nsp] Catalyst 5500 RSM speed limitations.

[Church, Charles]

A 3550/3560 etherchanneled to the 5000/5500 would be a dirt cheap way to
get multi-gigabit performance, if your routing protocol, table size, and
features aren't too demanding...

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?
