Hi Guys!

I'm having some issues with my implementation. I'm using GNS3 to virtualize the EXOS SW (IMG 32.1.6) for creating this topology. My external link operates at 80Mbps, but when I test the speed within my network, such as under D1 or D2, I only get a velocity of 4Mbps.

I conducted a second test using iperf with no configuration on the SW, and it still shows a speed of only 4Mbps. Can any of you help me out?

GNS3 is not for performance testing, the throughput you will get is very bad (at least for EXOS) and it was never designed to forward data at high speed. 

It was designed to test configs, not throughput.

Hi Oscar, I undertand the case but when I test connection directly connectd from SW Core (EXOS) I get the expected throughput, anyway what you say is truth, thank you for your response!
