Shouldn't be. I believe Cisco's "bandwidth points" reflect reality
fairly well here. PA-POS-2OC3 is 600 bandwidth points according to

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2033/products_qanda_item09186a0080145c44.shtml

so does not oversubscribe one PCI bus (but you can't put anything else
on the same PCI bus if you want to ensure no oversubscription of PCI bus
resources).
