Hi Sameer,
I can attempt to answer your question, to the best of my knowledge we have throughput of the device which has dependent on the core I/O bandwidth of the ASIC.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that if a switch has x number of ports of type 1Gig and the throughput will be 2*xGig.
Forwarding capacity refers to the lower packet sizes (generally 128 byte) uni directional throughput.
you can refer the data sheet of the following, the device has 64*100Gig ports and the ASIC also capable of supporting 6.4T, Bidirectional throughput is 12.8Tbps, forwarding capacity will be 4.2Bpps.
I need to understand why Forwarding capacity convention is Bpps and where as Bidirectional throughput is Tbps
