On a similar theme does anybody have any hands on experience with the level
of packet forwarding performance you can expect when routing with a 3550 EMI

Thanks,
Daniel

Vendors often cite whatever performance parameters make them look
best. For basic forwarding performance, see RFC 2544, for a
description, at least, of what makes a good benchmark.
