well, first of all, you're talking about the 12G or 12T. Backplane matches total possible throughput of the ports. In other words, Cisco discovers the thrill of wire speed non blocking. Do you question Foundry or Extreme's capability in this area? Cisco is late to the party, but a welcome guest nevertheless.
As for choosing that particular model - why not? It does vlans. they can introduce real L3 into the Lab. Maybe they can even afford to put a couple of them in and do some things that they don't do now because of limited numbers of devices. This is not good news, by the way. PS in the CCIE Lab, throughput performance and dropped packets are the LEAST of your worries ;-> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I don't know about this thing. > What is the real throughput I wonder. > It says 24Gbbs switching fabric but I can't find a place where is says "X > Gbbs throughput" > Has anyone really ever tested one of these puppies?
