[AusNOG] Cisco 887VA vs Cisco 867VAE

[Matthew Solly]

That's a pretty old document though, this is a more up to date one covering the current 860VAE range:

There are also several models of the 867VAE, some with slightly different capabilities in terms of performance.

I have done some testing with an 867VAE-W-K9, and it can handle a 100mbps WAN connection with ease. However, this was in a small office environment (5-6 users) with the device doing DHCP/DNS/NAT and not much else. I'm unsure how it would perform with more of the advanced features in use though, as in this environment there was no need for them.

I don't think either of these routers have the throughput to handle decent NBN connections.

Check: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf

870 series - 12.8Mbps
860 series - 12.8Mbps
