THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ON THEIR SITES.
EXTREME:
http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/datasheets/bd.asp?anchor=techspecs
Industry--leading Layer 3 switching performance, availability and port
density
6808 Non-blocking 128 Gbps backplane yields over 96 million packet per
second throughput
6816 Non-blocking 256 Gbps backplane yields over 192 million packet per
second throughput
CISCO:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/si/casi/ca6000/tech/ios6k_wp.htm
Catalyst Family Switches Catalyst 6000 Series Catalyst 6500 Series
Slot Density 6 or 9 slots
6 or 9 slots
Backplane Capacity 32 Gbps
Scalable to 256 Gbps
Multilayer Switching
Scalable to 150 Mpps
So, Cisco can do 150MPPS with 256 backplane and extreme will do 192MPPS
with 256GBPS backplane.

Last I heard, the 6816 w/256Gig backplane, was not yet shipping and was
still a
ways off...
http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/datasheets/bd.asp?anchor=techspecs
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.
