Someone once told me a rumor, saying that an archive of cisco-nsp
exists, and that this might be a fairly frequent topic... (and that
the answer is somewhat complex, depending on card, local switching or
cross-fabric, and on 6708's and 6716's, port distribution).
Short answer: 6700 cards have a 40 Gbit fabric connection. There is some
overhead to it, so you can't run all 4 ports at 4x10 gbit line rate, but
something like 3.5x 10G should be doable on a 6704. 6708 and 6716 cards
are overbooked - they will handle 10G on each individual port, but not
on all of them at the same time, and not on arbitrary combinations.
