That was based on the Cat6500 with the 32Gig switching fabric and used old line
cards which were out of date even at the time of the test. The current version
of the box supports a 256Gig fabric with distributed line cards and performance
around 150Million PPS. The Extreme is around 95Mpps and if you lose one of the
2 switching fabrics in the Black Diamond, that number get cut in half. With
the C6k, if you lose one of the Xbar switch fabrics, you still have the full
150Mpps performance.
