Switch Throughput

Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:43 am

I was wondering if there was any switch throughput measurements available for Netonix switches? Most of my sites do not have much in the way of throughput but I have a site that pushes over 700mbps with several VLANs where I am having issues and need to replace an existing switch with failing ports. I am not confident to install a Netonix because I cannot find a published measurement of throughput or pps. Is there a said document?

Our switches are rated at line speed (all ports simultaneously) so each switch capacity is 1G x number of ports.

It is late but I took a screen grab just now of one of my towers which you can see is pushing 700+ Mbps or 1.4G aggregate.

You can also watch a videos of my towers live on YouTube, here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JvBEAD4MFM

We move over 600+ Mb through a 12 port switch in our data center. it doesn't even sweat.
I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Please be aware that 1 Gbps port with several VLANs are only able to push 1 Gbps. Just because you throw several VLANs at a port it can't do more than the physical speed.
I have seen people using a lot of VLANs and getting bad performance because they push several hundred Mbps on each VLAN through one port.

It's a common mistake. Of course I don't know if that's what you're experiencing.....
