Sorry for not making that clear. Let me reword. My bad: "perfect performance on 10GbE". I believe I also mentioned our 8G per slot throughput limitation not to mislead people to think we do 10GbE non-blocking. Same limitation as the Cat6500 once it gets up to speed. > Go find the nice black shirts that were passed out at Foundry's last > Kool-Aid fest. You are in obvious need of one.

Everything I posted concerning performance of 10GbE I saw for myself. All other information was publicly available and concerns operators interested in 10GbE. Many of them are unaware of their options and I wanted to bring Foundry to light. Reading NANOG you would think that the only way to spot Nimda would be NBAR and the only MPLS is Juniper. The post I replied to is a person considering 10GbE in a 6500. I've seen the performance on this at a customer site with SmartBits. The channel became a Foundry reseller because of this specific issue. Now the same configuration comes up on NANOG and I wanted the person thinking about the 6500/10GbE solution to be aware of what I saw. Perhaps the performance is faster than 4G today (My info is a month old). If I were to leave Foundry today (to make them look better) and work for another company (McDonalds?), I would have sent the same post (would you like fries with that?). You can't forget what you see. I have tested our 10GbE personally. Gary
