Hi Folks,

I have an RB1000 and we use all 4 Physical interfaces, and there are many sub interfaces as well.

Can anyone tell me how to work out what the total aggregate packets per second that the CPU is dealing with?

I am trying to justify the RB1000 over a Cisco 2940 and the cisco website seems to rate routers capacity by the total packets per second.

Help appreciated. TIA.

Alex

Hello,

Look here in the wiki: look for agreggate.

"
The traffic passing through any interface can be monitored using following command:
/interface monitor-traffic [id | name]"

Hi Martin,

Thanks for that. Its exactly what I wanted to see.

So, presumably then, if I add rx-packets-per-second to the tx-packets-per-second I will now get the totat packets handled by that router. Is that correct?

This is correct, but with agreggate, I think you get the total packets..
