Abstract

Vyatta commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the Vyatta software-based routing and security solution on an x86 processor-based system (Dell PowerEdge 860) for this test.

Tolly Group engineers measured the Layer 3 bidirectional and unidirectional zero-loss (<0.001) throughput and the frame-loss rate of the device operating in a Gigabit Ethernet-to-Gigabit Ethernet scenario against a Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router. Testing was conducted in February 2007.
