He is right about the sniffer being connected a 100Mb port.  And you are
also right about it only being around 120Mbps.  What you also have to
remember is that if these are broadcast packets (which if they are, you have
a little bit of a problem), they are being sent out every port (100Mb X 48 X
number of cards), therefore filling up your backplane and maxing out your
network.  If you have several 48 port cards then you are utilizing that
switch heavily.  If all that is legitimate traffic, there is a card you can
buy to upgrade the backplane to 256Gbps.  Happy hunting and I hope you find
the problem.
