Originally, they were and I had them divide them among the cards and it was better but then they added more servers. I'm a support guy so I try to fix peoples problems after the fact if possible.
Here's the Mpps numbers... 4006 w/sup3 or sup4 -- 48 Mpps 4006 w/sup2 -- 18 Mpps Also, I'm told the 4006 has 3 buses each with it's own K1 (granite) chip and theres a 1GB connection between each K1 chip or bus. I've come across something someplace that mentioned that theres actually 2GB for the bus, and 3GB if you enable switch accelaration or add the fabric card. I haven't been able to find anything on cisco to verify this though. I'm also not sure what slot is on what bus. If anyone has any more details, I would be interested so we know what the best placement of devices / modules would be. --- "Steven A.
