On the other hand, the TurboIron's are cut through switches, not store and forward so they shouldn't NEED as large a buffer. And if you have enough congestion to cause packet drop, you want TCP to back off a little. They have enough buffer to handle most microburst. conditions. Give them plenty of uplink and it shouldn't be a problem. I generally use 20 to 40G of uplink capacity depending on the downlink capability.
