<DIV><SPAN class=004274617-23102005><FONT face=Arial size=2>we're using several
foundry Bigirons - some Ironcore and some Jetcore - and I'd like to find out how
much load there is on the ip-forwarding-engine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=004274617-23102005><FONT face=Arial
size=2>On most Cisco routers one can check the cpu load of the
Linecard but on a foundry forwarding is done in hardware. Is there any way to
find out how much room there is left and how high the utilization
is?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=004274617-23102005><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I
understand a forwarding engine can usually forward x mpps with a specific packet
size which equals y megabits per second but much less megabits if the packet
size is smaller.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=004274617-23102005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any
ideas?<BR></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=004274617-23102005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've seen show proc
cpu and one can read
"IP
0.19 0.13
0.13
0.15 4518345" there but I guess this
means how much cpu of the management card is being used by icmp-replies
addressed to the router itself?!?</DIV></FONT></SPAN>
