[j-nsp] Recommended sampling rates on MS-500 pic

[Doan Nguyen]

Tim,

the difference between sampling with the PIC vs. using the RE is that with the PIC
the router sends the entire packet to the pic vs. the IP header.  With this bandwidth
to the PIC is probably more of the limiting factor for your sampling rate.  With the RE
you do not have the bandwidth issue but processor utilization to worry about.  

I believe the MS500 is rated at OC48 speed so depending on packet size you will hit
bandwidth limitation first before you will packet per second.

Hello,

I would like to know what is the recommended sampling rates to use on
a network and what can the juniper support.
In addition, what factors determine what sampling rate to use.

Thanks you!
