2409.0. "Throughput (pps) of the DECswitch when routing" by WMGEN1::abs001p8.nqo.dec.com::Cindy Richardson () Wed Jun 21 1995 15:31

I am looking for some information on the throughput of the DECswitch 900 (EE 
and EF) when routing software is added.  Wellfleet and Cisco have these 
numbers for their routers and I've been asked twice by customers about this. 
 I can't seem to find anything on it although it seems like a perfectly 
legitimate question.  The answer I'm looking for is "______"/pps.

Thanks

    The throughput is so much a function of the software release that
    it may be premature to quote the numbers right now.  However I believe
    that it is expected to be in the range of 15,000 to 18,000 pps for
    the most popular protocols.

    The next release, late in CY 95 should bring that up into the 40-45K
    range and also include Ethernet in the backplane capability.
