Port 1 can provide 10-Gbps
because it does not need to share
the channel with port 4
Ports 2 and 3 share this channel and the
trunked link balanced the 14.4-Gbps link
fairly between the 2 ports

Connection choices are also important where equally balanced bandwidth is needed, such as in a VRRP
application. This scenario is illustrated in Figure 21.

“Backup”VRRP “Master”
• Each trunk provides 20-Gbps bandwidth because in the VRRP scenario, one router is
the owner and the other is the backup
• As a result, only one port in each 14.4-Gbps channel is in use because the trunks are
using different channels

Throughput and latency performance data
Tables 7 through 9 describe the performance capabilities of the 10-Gbps, 1-Gbps, and 100-Mbps interface
module ports of the ProCurve 6600 Switch Series. Over a range of packet sizes from 64 bytes to 1518 bytes,
the performance levels achieved are described in terms of the following metrics:
•Throughput level percentage achieved when performing Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing; 100% in all
cases.
•Throughput in the form of the number of packets per second when performing Layer 2 switching and Layer 3
routing.
