[c-nsp] RES: Is the 6704 really as terrible as everyone says?

[Leonardo Gama Souza]

I already had problems using it to aggregate GTP/3G traffic. The
solution was to swap it with 6708 blade.
The 6704 blade was reaching 30% of its bw capacity and was dropping a
lot of packets....

Assunto: [c-nsp] Is the 6704 really as terrible as everyone says?

I've read several posts on here that lead me to believe that the
WS-6704-10G is essentially the worst linecard ever produced.

The problem is, I only need 2 ports of 10G and just to replace 2x1Gbps
uplinks that almost never get anywhere near their line rate capacity.

If they are really, really, awful. I will probably just end up getting a
6708 for this particular switch, but I would rather not considering the
huge price difference.

Currently I am using the 1G ports off of the Sup720 as the uplink, and I
hear those have awful buffers as well.

So when upgrading from the ports on the Sup720 to a 6704, is that still
a bad move?

thanks,
-Drew
