Re: Performance Tests Cisco 2514 and Pentium 166/400

My 2514 nearly floods a T-1 about 20 hours a day. Since our upstream
changed the DSL line equipment, we're really only getting about 85% of the
T-1 speed, but it's nailed up, and the 2514 seems to have some horsepower
left. I'm not sure a 2514 *can't* fill up a T-1. Of course, this is just
IP and RIP. We'd try BGP, but the 25xx doesn't have enough RAM capacity to
do a good job of BGP4. Benchmarks only go so far, I guess.
