An IBM System X3550 system was used as the host processor. Tolly Group engineers verified the BGP routing scalability (BGP route table capacity, BGP convergence times and BGP peer router capacity) versus Cisco 7204VXR routers with Network Processing Engine NPE-G1 and NPE-G2. Engineers also measured the Layer 3 bidirectional zero-loss throughput for various packet sizes in a three-port full-mesh configuration. Results were compared with Cisco 7204VXR routers and used to obtain a price/performance comparison. Tests were conducted in February 2008.
