[c-nsp] CE Router performance

[CiscoNSP List]

Thanks Lukas - The numbers quoted were from Cisco (Our Cisco AM, and he engaged a 1900 "specialist" @ Cisco)..there recommendation (Of course) is to go for a larger CE to get guaranteed(required) throughputs...I was more interested in clarifying the duplex/half-duplex, which you have done(Cheers)
