Thanks for all the replies on list and off list.... We're going to sit tight until early next week when the new x-connect will be installed thankfully...;)

There's no latency > or issues that are evident yet but wanted to ask anyways.... > you're pushing it pretty hard already. a 5 minute average of 817 Mbps would probably imply instantaneously pushing 1 Gbps. more granular statistics (e.g. setting load-interval to 30 seconds) may show more dynamic nature than a 5 minute average, but i'd say getting 15 or 30 second SNMP counters may show you hitting 1Gbps for periods of time. latency would be a function of queuing & average queue length. based on your statistics, you have 98K output queue drops (queue was full) based on 406 billion packets -- so it clearly isn't happening _too_ often ... yet .. :) cheers, lincoln.
