> What issues are you having on the 04 and 08s?

Nothing that cannot be avoided (mostly, that is) by planning explicitly the 
placement of ports in lacp/pagp groups vs. subint-fannout/access ports vs. 
inter-chassis links, so as to avoid the port asic<-->fabric channel "some ports 
are almost line rate, some less" and the ever-popular "this port of the lag 
takes this path, the other one, not!" These complexities also show up in lsp 
load balancing behavior, and get more interesting when you ask "what is the 
bandwidth of this port, really?" questions with respects to TE functions. 

Searching the c-nsp archives will reveal many and varied issues, none entirely 
untenable, but all generally extra work and trouble for someone along the 
support chain.

Having 'future revisions' of the 6704/8/etc cards not require that engineers be 
concerned and expertly familiar with the arrangement of ports -> port asic -> 
fabric channel/dfc would be high on my cisco hardware wishlist.
