No, PPS and bandwidth are two distinct metrics. Although there can be a linear relationship between them line rate does not always imply a payload equal or close to the interface MTU. You see this with network vendors and some of the higher end gear. Network vendors always give specs for their gear by quoting both metrics. And there is some gear that that is capable of doing line rates even with small packets, example the Cisco ASR 1000: "For example, because one of the newest Cisco routers, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router, is capable of forwarding packets at up to 16 Mp/s with services enabled, it can support the processing of the equivalent of 10 Gb/s of traffic at line rate, with services, even for small packets."[1] [1] https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/resources/network_pe... |
