Vc Scaling; Scaling Enhancements In Cisco Ios Release 12.2(28)Sb; Configuring The Cisco 10000 Series Router For High Scalability - Cisco 10000-2P2-2DC Software Configuration Manual

Scaling Enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB

In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)XI2, the subinterfaces on a given main interface share the single system
queue of the main interface, which allows for 32,000 subinterfaces with a three-queue model that
supports assured forwarding (AF) queues and expedited forwarding (EF) queues, in addition to the
default best effort (BE) queues. Because a system queue does not exist for every subinterface, this setup
frees up queues for a 4-queue model.

VC Scaling

When configured for hierarchical shaping, ATM line cards support the following number of VCs:

Scaling Enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, up to 16,384 L2TP tunnels are supported. Because of a limit on the
number of VPDN groups supported, it is not possible to configure 16,384 tunnel definitions using the
CLI. Configure the remaining tunnel definitions using RADIUS.
