28xx T3 performance

optionstechnology · ‎10-26-2007

Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtain performance details for using an NM-1T3/E3

Can i get the full T3 45Mbps throughput using a 2811 ?

Thanks

Hi,

The 2811 is smallish for full T3. Please scale up a little. See attached perf. guideline.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

I have a client who has a 2811 on a fractional T3 running at 10 Mbps. Works well, this after I maxed one out at about 20 Mbps (where it hit 100% CPU). So, don't believe you be able to get full T3 throughput on one.

Cisco recommends various bundles of T1s for the 2800 series. For T3s, they appear to recommend the next larger series, the 3800s.

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5855/prod_models_comparison.html

note the 3845 is rated for full T3.
