Interesting in that Cisco advertise 96,000 queues, but that actually equates to 1,000 usable queues...
Roughly 512 per NPU and it’s got a dual core Broadcom chipset, hence the 1,000 ish queues. Also, it doesn’t seem to be able to take more than 64 different QoS shape types per NPU either, so we’re limited to 128 different QoS profiles per box. So, not good or bad, per se, just “interesting” design criteria. They are a cracking price per port though. L Sent from my iPhone > On 26 Mar 2019, at 14:48, Neil J.
