Maximum PPPoE subscriber on 7200VXR-NPE-G1
Hi

Does anybody know how many concurrent PPPoE subscribers with Shaping and HQF
are supported on C7200VXR with NPE-G1? The IOS is
c7200-a3jk91s-mz.122-31.SB13.
Re: Maximum PPPoE subscriber on 7200VXR-NPE-G1 [ In reply to ]
At least 8000, IIRC. Some interesting info here:

Wow, I didn't think that was possible with only a npe-400, I have a 7204vxr
with a npe-g2 and it says around 16000 concurrent sessions, but you would
probably do about 8000 on it to be safe, not sure how shaping and hqf will
affect it.. I thought this list was dead J

We tend to run our NPE-G2 based routers at around 3000 sessions just to keep some headroom.

Interestingly, the performance seems to vary based on how the sessions are coming in. When we were using PA-A3-OC3 interfaces (4 per router), the CPU utilization was significantly higher than when we migrated the traffic to GigE interfaces.

Presumably this is because the traffic comes directly on to the NPE card through the built in interfaces rather than having to traverse the PCI bus to the PA cards.

I agree. Seems like recommendations for when PPP circuits were slower.

I'd say 4000 at the most on an NPE-G1 with modern day broadband circuits.

Hi Alireza,

The largest limiting factor would be the processor and memory on the VXR.

A simple "show proc CPU" is the first indicator that I would be looking at.

sh proc cpu
CPU utilization for five seconds: 3%/0%; one minute: 3%; five minutes: 3%

The most important numbers in this example is the five seconds value ­ 3%/0%

I have seen productions systems with values of 80% and system run fine.

Hi
Does anybody know how many concurrent PPPoE subscribers with Shaping and HQF
are supported on C7200VXR with NPE-G1? The IOS is
c7200-a3jk91s-mz.122-31.SB13.
