[c-nsp] Cisco Routers: Performance benchmark

[bored to death]

hi,

thanks for the reply.

the document you pointed out 
(http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf)
 was good for the start, thank you. but it was very limited.
it just had the result for switching of 64Byte frame packets, not any static or 
dynamic routing results nor any results about other frame sizes.
as i know, the normal frame size of ordinary networks are 1500Bytes which is 
very bigger than 64Byte. for example, in this document, the maximum switching 
throughput for a 2821 router is ~90Mbit/s which is very low for a gigabit router 
(of course it's because of very small frame size).

we have universal RFC 2544 for performance benchmarks of network devices like 
routers , etc. i was wondering and it's just a thought, shouldn't cisco or other 
vendors give performance specifications of their products based on this RFC or 
other standards? doesn't the customer need to know for example in his/her normal 
network, what is the throughput of this router with say static routing or else? 
aren't these information important for the buyer? if yes, are any documents with 
these information exist?

thank you.

Emne: [c-nsp] Cisco Routers: Performance benchmark

hi,

for my research, i was looking for some documents about performance 
specifications and benchmarks of cisco routers, such as 2800 and 3800 series. 
oddly, i couldn't find any good document about these aspects of routers, on 
cisco website or by searching in google. the benchmark parameters i'm looking 
for, are standard things like maximum throughput, router throughput with 
different frame sizes (64B~1500B), routing protocols throughput and latency 
(throughput of router on ospf, rip, bgp, ... routing protocols), latency, etc.

can anyone help me with this? does anyone know any documents which describes 
cisco routers' performance parameter values? if not, does anyone have any 
suggestions where may i find my answer (what forum, mailing list, ...)?

thank you.
