Hi there...

One on our our 7606's we have a GigE link that is getting fairly "hot" with
traffic....

GigabitEthernet4/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0011.20cc.fdbc (bia
0011.20cc.fdbc)
  Description: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 208/255, rxload 145/255
  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is LH
  input flow-control is off, output flow-control is on
  Clock mode is auto
  ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
  Last input never, output 8w1d, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/2000/438/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops:
98911
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 571885000 bits/sec, 124290 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 817892000 bits/sec, 133528 packets/sec
     420136257397 packets input, 259502587402081 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 105842980 broadcasts (56056385 multicasts)
     0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 438 overrun, 0 ignored
     0 watchdog, 0 multicast, 0 pause input
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected
     406989787118 packets output, 241435931635384 bytes, 0 underruns
     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 3 interface resets
     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
     0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 14 pause output




I've ordered a new x-connect with the idea of running etherchannel... my
real question is how much further can I push this link? There's no latency
or issues that are evident yet but wanted to ask anyways....

Thanks ;)

Paul
