Re: Cisco G2 ISR WAN performance of 1Gbps?

The ISR G2 will come out with better SPE boards, next year they tend to release the 200 and 250Mbps boards for the 3900 series. Thats no-where near the 1Gbps still :-)

Like said in this topic the first router to support 1Gbps of throughput is the ASR1002. Great box and I don't know, but I never saw the CPU hit anywhere near 100% even with services enabled (WCCP for example). The box is designed that only the bus speed is the limit. The cell-based CPU is really powerful and IOS-XE is a nice OS.

Indeed, to get a basic 1Gbps 'router', get a layer-3 switch, but be aware of the limitation in features!
