Foundry Networks BigIron 8000 Gigabit Ethernet Switching Router Layer 2 & Layer 3 Performance Evalu

Abstract

Foundry Networks Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to benchmark the layer 2 and layer 3 IP/IPX throughput of the BigIron 8000 with 64 ports of Gigabit Ethernet in two 32-port full-mesh configurations. Testing demonstrated that the eight-slot, chassis-based switch achieved wire-speed throughput with no loss, utilizing three different packet sizes.
