Abstract

Avaya commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the company’s Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 2500 switches to determine their frame forwarding rate, throughput, and cost-per-Gigabit of throughput delivered.

Engineers measured the ERS 2526T and ERS 2550T performance against Cisco Systems, Inc. Catalyst 2960-24TC and 48TC and ProCurve Networking by HP Switch 2626 and 2650 Layer 2/3 Switches.

Tests were conducted in March 2007.
