Thanks to everyone for the on-list/off-list replies. We were of the understanding it was 2Gb/s which I was obviously wrong on - this keeps us "out of trouble" for the time being thankfully.
No etherchannel on these cards neither ;) Cheers, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Pete Templin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: January-31-10 9:06 AM To: Matt Buford Cc: Paul Stewart; [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Card Throughput - 6148A-GE-TX Matt Buford wrote: > Each range of 8 ports (1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32, 33-40, 41-48) has an ASIC. > Each ASIC can do a max of 1 Gb in each direction.

I've also heard that there's a 1Gbps limit on EtherChannels - apparently EtherChannel packets have to be sent to each ASIC, so building any EtherChannels on the card could be detrimental. pt _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
