[c-nsp] Quick 6500 question...

[Mack McBride]

The back-plane throughput capability is higher in the E chassis.
It doesn't really matter since higher BW cards (2T compatible) are only supported in the E chassis
But the non-E is theoretically capable of much higher speed than the 40G cards supported.
IIRC the E chassis is theoretically capable of about double the BW provided by the Sup2T.
My take is that Cisco is intentionally overdesigning the chassis to reduce issues.

Quick reality check...

Is the difference in the E-series chassis only in available power?  Has nothing to do with backplane bandwidth?
