White Paper Abstract:
This report documents the current performance of the Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) classification engine on Cisco 2600-XM, 3700, 7206, 7300, and 7500 Series Routers. It includes a description of the testbed, the testing methodology, and the benchmarks that were used for performance testing. Detailed results are provided for each benchmark. Cisco IOS Software® Release 12.3(10) was used for all performance measurements. The purpose of this document is to provide field engineers with performance guidelines for the NBAR feature on these platforms.
