J-6350 Packet-mode throughput

[klumpen]

Hi,

I have one J-6350 with the four integrated 4 10/100/1000 ports. I have configured the J-series to work in Packet-mode.

Have some problems finding the specification about throughput on these ports in packet-mode.

Anyone who know how much traffic these ports can handle?

*bump* I'd like to know too....

I vaguely recall having this discussion about 3 years ago with someone and if memory serves me, the 4 interfaces on the J-Series are oversubscribed 2-to-1 i.e. there are 2x 1Gbps buses connected to the 4 ports, so if you want to do line rate, only use 0 and 2 or 1 and 3.

This was a long time ago though and it may have only been relevant to the 4350.

Can you some tell me, or point me to where, the specs are for the bandwidth on the backplane the pims are connecting too?

I tested the J6350 4-port built-in interface with a traffic generator.  it only accepts 500mbps of total traffic for all ports.  its either i have a defective unit or is this the normal behavior?

dfex above noted that the ports are oversubscribed 2-1 so the theoretical limit would be 2gbit.  However the cpu would likely be the limiting factor in your test.

What kind of traffic were you generating and what's your config like?
