Hi Brett,

My understanding was that the only oversubscription in 3750's was on 48 
port models which still use a 32 gbps backplane (and stacking ring).  
Other than that they can drive all ports at line speed from what I've 
been told.  We haven't pushed ours anywhere near that hard to date and 
I haven't tried this in the lab so I have no personal data on it.
