I don't have them for the 6500 offhand. 5500 -- 1-25 Mpps 4006 w/sup3 or sup4 -- 48 Mpps 4006 w/sup2 -- 18 Mpps > I do recall some conversation somewhere about > Cisco's 6 port gig blade architechture being > somewhat > restrictive, but I don't recall the details. If you recall the details, I would be interested. The cisco pages say the 6 port GBIC is non-blocking but doesn't go into details about backplane. > Something about each three gig > ports sharing a chunk of the backplane?

It all depends on the type of traffic and amount happening at same time. IE: You could have 30 gig attached devices that aren't transmitting and run fine but if all 30 are pumping the wire you're likely to have problems. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
