Jeff,

The output drops were one of the things I was concerned about. How far 
below line rate were you seeing them ? We picked up some 2960s awhile 
back and noticed that we started seeing drops at around 400mbps.

Does anyone know how many ports/asic on these switches and/or what the 
available bandwidth to the backplane is per asic ?

Thanks

Dave
