With 2 active SCBs (2+0 non-redundant or 2+1 redundant in a 960) you are capable of 120G per slot. The worst case throughput in this case would depend on the cards. For single Trio MPC1 in would be 30Gbit per card (actual 31.7 to ~ 39 depending on packet mix) For dual Trio MPC2 it would be sa

It is 120Gbit agg in a SCB system as the limit is 120G/slot. This is in the form of 30Gbit per TRIO and 1 TRIO per 4 ports. So, use 3 of 4 in each bank if you want 100% line rate. SCBE increases this to 160Gbit or better (depending on age of chassis) allowing for line rate on all 16. Agree, m
