【Transfer】Packet forwarding rate

The packet forwarding rate indicates the size of the switch's ability to forward packets. The unit is generally pps (packets per second), and the packet forwarding rate of general switches ranges from tens of Kpps to hundreds of Mpps. The packet forwarding rate refers to how many million data packets (Mpps) the switch can forward per second, that is, the number of data packets that the switch can forward at the same time. The packet forwarding rate reflects the switching capability of the switch in units of data packets.

    In fact, an important indicator that determines the packet forwarding rate is the backplane bandwidth of the switch. The backplane bandwidth indicates the total data exchange capability of the switch. The higher the backplane bandwidth of a switch, the stronger the ability to process data, that is, the higher the packet forwarding rate.
