Throughput question

[apf3885]

Anybody know of a website that does benchmarking on routers? I'm researching the throughput of a 2621 router. So far I've learned that it can process 25k packets per second. What does that mean? Hehe, what does that equal in megabytes?

Cisco 2621 Router has the through put of 25-27 Kilo bytes of packets per second. It means in one second it can send 25,000 bytes of pockets.When we are sending an information , it will be spillited into mutiple's of pockets.

2651 has the through put of 35-37 KBPS.

I understood that the throughput was based on 64 byte packets. So throughput would be 25,000 packets/sec X 64 Bytes = 1,600,000 bytes/sec. This is the total input (throughput) of ALL interfaces.
