For those that are busy telling me in private mail that PCI is only 133Mbytes per second, please note BITS versus BYTES. OC-3 = 155Mbit (or about 20MBytes/sec if you like) PCI = 1.xGBit (or about 133MBytes/sec) I am well aware that OC-12 is faster than PCI, but it isn't faster than the fast 64 bit PCI stuff, which clocks in at 533MBytes/second, or something on the order of 4.25 Gbit/sec. (Yes, I know my math is somewhat off, but I don't have a calculator -- thats approximating off the top of my head). Anyway, PCI is more than fast enough for OC-3 stuff. Perry
