if they're trident/T+/T2 chipsets, then they will do line rate on all ports with small packets. Latency is dependent on forwarding mode, i.e. slightly lower for cut-thru than for store-n-forward. afair, the cut-thru marketing latency on T2 is 500ns. Bear in mind that linux is only the control plane operating system and has nothing to do with the underlying forwarding mechanism. Nick
