The real-world limitation for a 3640 is 70kpps (no acls, fast sw, 100% cpu). At 45Mb/s, a 3640 should be just warming up. > I'm looking at a project that calls for a DS3, and the suggested router > is a 3640, and I'm trying to prove / document that's not a wise idea. A 3640 should work fine for that application, provided you don't have any other major requirements like BGP, long ACLs, etc. S
