JosephDoherty is full of misinformation so it is no wonder that he feels the need to post a Liability Disclaimer as a preemptive form of deniability at the beginning of each and every one of his posts! Any reader taking his posts seriously does solely at reader's own risk.
First of all, I do not know why you are following me around to every discussion trying to discredit my observations! You are dirtying up the discussions with your misinformation, please quit stalking me.
With that said, in my real world environment, I am reaching the limits that my ISP will allow on my cable link. Please understand that the Cisco 800 series is a SOHO series, if you don't understand the significance of that, well I'm not surprised. My router is a pretty active SOHO router because we are WISP R&D branch office, and I have several services running on my Cisco 871:
- PAT/NAT
- ACL
- Encryption
- VPN
- QoS
- VLANs
Therefore we consistently have the full array of packet sizes. We are a pretty average IMIX environment. If you read the paper you linked me to, you'll see that that there is no real IMIX standard, but my results are similar.
In conclusion, the Cisco 871 is capable or routing at 27 Mbps in a real world environment.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Depends on your real world environment.
Where is is the perhaps not?! This is proof that you don't know your elbow from a TCP packet. MY CISCO 871 IS GETTING 27 MBPS, THEREFORE THE CISCO 871 IS CAPABLE OF GETTING 27 MBPS! There is no perhaps about it, it is happening at this very moment. You just need to admit you are wrong. YOU ARE WRONG JOSEPH. Now please quit dirtying up these discussions with your misinformation.
Chad, chill out, relax. First I'm not following you around trying to discredit your observations!
I did inquire/comment about a couple of your statements in a couple of your recent postings, but if you would examine more of my postings, you'll see I asked Glen, just today, about 3750 stacks automatically copying files between member stacks. Also recently, I commented on a posting made by Leo about 3750 requiring all stack member to have the same IOS version and feature set. Both Glen and Leo are very long and notable posters within these forums. In other words, I'm not singling you out. Additionally, others have asked or commented on my postings too, especially Paolo or Rick (both Hall of Fame). My intent, and I think this is likely true for others too, is we all want to be as accurate as possible and indeed don't want other readers or the original poster to obtain other than the best information.
Yes, yes, you're 871 is getting 27 Mbps throughput. I don't recall ever writing I doubted your veracity. Nor do I recall writing the 871 is incapable of obtaining 27 Mbps, if fact, I recall writing (in your query posting) it might reach close to 200 Mbps (even 300 Mbps if 25 Kpps was the actual number for 1500 byte Ethernet packets).
To your question "Where is the perhaps not?", I believe some traffic mixes with some configurations may not obtain 27 Mbps. So yes, I agree for some traffic mixes and some configurations, the 871 is quite capable of supporting 27 Mbps, but this is not guaranteed for ALL traffic mixes and ALL configurations; i.e. the perhaps not. You disagree? Ok, that's fine too. We've both stated our reasoning, readers can agree or disagree with either of us.
BTW, I see my other postings in this tread have received "not helpful" ratings. Chad, assuming these ratings are from you, you can rate any posting as you desire, but if you read the guidelines for using these forums, vindictive ratings might cause action against you. So try to participate in the spirit of these boards, which is trying to help others.
