Amazing...I don't mean to be haughty or insulting (really) but all of this seems so clueless: Why the concept of Cisco buying Nortel is so laughable. They might be able to pull it off financially right now, but it would be like Hyundai buying GM. The problem is that even though Cisco is a huge

Note carefully that this was a Layer 2 test! If this was a layer 3 test the 6509's throughput would be even lower. Compare this to Nortel's Passport 8600 switch which will pass 96 million packets/sec in L2 or L3. I would think that the throughput of the switches in the core of most companies
