Router Analysis testing results for the Cisco ASR 1000.
Router Analysis tested the Cisco ASR 1004 for performance, scalability and features. The following is a list of items tested:
- IP forwarding rate
- Minimum Packet Size (64 bytes)
- With ACLs (permit any any)
- With uRPF
- With QoS
- With Netflow
- Packet IMIX
- 1500 Byte Packets (Fabric Throughput)
- Minimum Packet Size (64 bytes)
- Oversubscription
- One to Many (HOLB Test)
- Many to One
- QoS
ASR 1004 Testing Results Summary
The Cisco ASR 1004 performed within Cisco’s claimed specifications when tested at the Router Analysis test lab.
Featureless IPv4 forwarding performed better than advertised: forwarding at 27 Million packets per second (Mpps) versus the claimed 23Mpps.
Featureless IPv6 forwarding was tested at 21Mpps.
Enabling features such as ACLs and uRPF dropped the routers forwarding performance down to 23.4Mpps for IPv4 and 11.7Mpps for IPv6. Both numbers are above the 10.4Mpps minimum forwarding rate of the system advertised by Cisco.
