afaik the new C6513-E will be able to support 80Gbps backplane. Though 
you still will have to wait for SupXXXX to support it.

Regarding 100G. When do you expect teh standard to be ready? Afaik the 
WG just kicked-off ... From ethernet history 100G *should* have been 
available *now*. But also keep in mind that Ethetnet technology is only 
growing by 37% per year while Internet traffic is growing my 100+%
