[c-nsp] 7609-S Throughput

Hi All,

I've heard that 10Gig cards in a 7609-S won't be able to push 10Gig of
traffic down the port. Apparently the line cards will go at wire speed
but the chassis won't push 10Gig across the back plane between say two
10Gig ports on two different cards. I've never used 10Gb modules on
these chassis before, can anyone here say if they have had any
problems with this, or perhaps adversely they easily max out their
10Gig ports on their 7600's?

It has an RSP720-3CXL-GE card in it at the moment, I'm look at the
3XCL-10GE, WS-X6704-10GE and ES20 cards, and I'm finding this hard to
believe. However, I'm not finding anything on the Internet at present
suggesting either way.

What performance do you guys get?

Many thanks,
