You need to define "wire speed" then. For example, the 3 port GE card
requires 3G (easy math) of switch fabric capacity to the backplane, but
there is only ~2.8G available. Therefore under 100% utilisation, this card
it is not "wire speed" - Cisco will tell you it's oversubscribed.

You can expect full wire speed performance from all Gig ports on the GSR. I
have tested this personally.
Thanks,

I know that a GigaE interface on a 7500, even with a VIP4-80 will top out
at 200kpps. Has anyone done benchmarks on GSR GigaE interfaces? What is
the top value you have seen on the following cards:
Engine 1: 1-Port GE w/ ECC
Engine 2: 3-Port GE
Engine 4: 10-Port GE
Thanks,
Hank
