July 1994 Subject: How do cisco routers rate performance-wise?
People often ask about performance of the cisco routers and are shyed away from answering their questions because we don’t know where to send them. Scott Bradner keeps the results of his performance tests on the Internet. You can find them for ftp on the system hsdndev.harvard.edu in the /pub/ndtl. There is a README file in that directory that explains what is available. In addition, cisco has just started publishing a piece of literature called “The Harvard Benchmark Test Results: Summary of cisco Systems Performance”. The only number I can find on the doc is Lit. #700901. Don’t know if you can order it by this number, but at least there’s a title to go on.
