Last I heard, the 6816 w/256Gig backplane, was not yet shipping and was still a
ways off...

The 6808 is shipping and the numbers on this can be found on the above URL. That
is where I got my numbers for the Black Diamond from.
True the C6K requires the X-Bar Switching Fabric to do 256G(@$15000 list), but
it is orderable today.
In regards to the pps figures, both the 150Mpps and 95Mpps are from the vendors
web sites.
