Hello to all,

I am wondering what is the maximum amount of users that can be using some kind of limited traffic in queues tree by an RB450g, an RB1000, and RB493?

Thanks to all in advance

All licenses other than the demo allow for unlimited queues, so the answer depends on how the unit is used as the limit will depend on available resources (CPU).

Let's say

My ISP provider gives me 8Mb and i would like to know, what is the maximum amount of users that I can have with RB450G, RB493, RB1000,

I see in some manuals that RB450 can process 82,500 pps and the RB1000 process 400,000 pps but if I can have a comparison, how many users would possibly use that ammount of transactions in both routers?

Like Fewi says, it all comes down to the amount of bandwidth you have and the number of Queues, firewall rules, and other things you are doing on the board. If it just doing routing and a few other things, expect wirespeed. If it is doing Simple Queue's, PCC, Firewall Filter, User Manager, The Dude, PPPoE Concentrator etc. expect less throughput.

We have several 450's out in the world with anywhere from a T-1 megs of bandwidth to 25 meg Cable and from anywhere from 50-150 unique users in a 24 hour period running a hotspot and PCC for load balancing. The average CPU load is around 10% I believe for most boards, but it will spike higher when using the API or something like Torch.

There have been tests with the RB1000 where it has managed 3.2 Gigabits per/sec routing with no other rules and the CPU at around 50% i think.
