Was that in the limits of the FPC ? It seems it does, just checking out.
Was this a test with smallest possible packets ? Do you remember aggregate
pps being routed ? It seems you could hit some of the real IP2 pps limits
with ACLs, which is definitively not 40 Mpps. In one test I saw it hitted
top at 12.5 Mpps, but it may be due to hitting FPC limits. Other people
tests showed something in the 20-25 Mpps range.
