[c-nsp] GEIP speed vs. GEIP+ speed.

[Marcus Lasarko]

Greetings Troy,

IIRC the former GEIP is VIP2-50-based and the GEIP+ is VIP4-80-based. Having similar hardware architecture and data throughput capabilities would suggest ~ 300-400 Mbps "published", which I would interpret as 150-200 Mbps average depending upon your configuration (YMMV). I would also guesstimate throughput|capacity from a L3 switching perspective of approximately 100-120 Kpps for the GEIP. I think I read some caveats regarding memory and such, but I believe current code requirements have successfully mitigated these concerns.

HTH,

I know that Cisco states that the GEIP+ can do 800+Mpbs in the 7500 series
but I was not able to find anything about the GEIP. Knowing the limitation
of the VIP's speed, what could one expect to get out of the GEIP?

 

Thanks.

Troy
