Two corrections here - DFCs have maximum throughput of 48Mpps (on
dual-fabric attached linecards) and 24Mpps (on single attached ones).
And Sup in centralized forwarding model can do up to 30Mpps.

That's DFC3BXL. The DFC3B is 7500$ list (+memory if Sup has more than
256MB, because DFC3B has default 256MB):
