Patrick,
Non-OSM GE cards do not have on-board PXF, thus do not have normal L3
QoS functionality (as well as some advanced per destination
services, shaping & accounting). The same (no PXF connection) is true
for 4GE ports on OSM cards, which are just Pinnacle connected ports.
The other difference between GE-OSM and GE-switch that GE-OSM are
just router ports, which are not connected to switch ports domain
thus cann't be a part of VLAN. Regarding the performance both
cards are fabric enabled and correspondently bus is 30 Mpps capable
in presence of any card.
