The average throughput per card for receive data on two and four cards compared to one card is exceptional as well. The decline in average bi-directional throughput as the number of cards increases results from the rp7410 nearing the limit of its CPU capacity. This is discussed more fully on the following page.

As demonstrated in the chart above, the average throughput per card for transmit data is the same for two
cards and four cards as it is for a single card.
The average throughput per card for receive data on two
and four cards compared to one card is exceptional as well.
The decline in average bi-directional throughput as the number of cards increases results from the rp7410
nearing the limit of its CPU capacity.
