Re: FW: your mail

Hmm, you need to perform UPSTREAM traffic, not your internal traffic. 
Hope CISCO people answer exact performance (through I can look for it 
myself), but really you does need the performance to develop all 
incoming/outgoing traffic, this means - if you have E3 upstream, you need 
E3 performance.

And it hardly depends of the traffic itself. ACL's does not use much CPU, 
but _protocol inspection_ (sorry, there is some other word in IOS for it, 
I do not remember exactly) does use a lot of CPU.
