One added note is that there are port pairs on the 6708 line card and those port pairs are 16G to connect to the next layer ASIC.
That means that a pair of ports can only handle 16G of traffic where they could receive or send 20G.

See my post from 2011.

Hey,

>        On the 6708 linecard The fabric asic has 20G and these combine two pairs: 1,4,5,7 and 2,4,6,8 Traffic between ports in these groups does not go over the fabric and is not counted against that BW, what about traffic between groups exemple from port 1 to port 2  in same linecard does go over the fabric ?

Exactly. Inside fabric channel they use local switching and never leave linecard. Between fabric channels (Same card or not) they use fabric.
