Hi. > We are using the 8 port 10GE PLIMs which are 2:1 oversubscribed.
The oversubscription of the 8-10GE PLIM is rather complicated. Some of the forwarding paths are restricted by bps, others by pps. This means you must be very careful selecting ports if you tries to avoid contention. Here's a good CCO document describing the internals of the PLIM: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/products_tech_note09186a0080772675.shtml#plimover > As we have primarily outbound traffic (hosting) we use half the ports > for inbound (from servers/DC) and half for outbound (to internet) > traffic. If you choose the wrong ports for inbound/outbound, you might still have internal contention. -- Pelle A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
