Re: cisco 3900 performance ??

I dont agree at all.

Where does Cisco pitch the 3900 ? They pitch it at branch level, and as
such the throughput is fine. The richness of services is what counts for
the 3900. I dont see your "average" branch office pushing over 350mb/s
continuously.

Right product, right place.
