Okay, this clarifies my earlier-posted doubts.

My guess is folk would be more inclined to assume 
80Gbps/slot is supported by the switch fabric today, if 
that information is posted on www.cisco.com.

I see the vagueness in "... provides capabilities to support 
system bandwidth capacity (80 Gbps per slot) up to...", but 
then again... :-).

It would be nice to know why Cisco don't simply put out a 
100Gbps/slot switch fabric, regardless of the current 
802.3ba status.
