test tool, 48 10/100BaseT ports were
connected to 48 ERS 2550T/2550T-
PWR 10/100BaseT ports. As with the Figure 2. Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series performance test results
ERS 2526 switches, ports were given (in millions of packets per second)
full mesh tests using Spirent SmartFlow 15
application. Two Spirent 1-Gigabit
Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports were 10
