All of these boxes can forward packets at line rate, and list for a fraction of the price of the Force 10 S-Series.You and I (and any real network operator) must have different definitions of "forward at line rate".
"forwards a gig-e full of 64 byte packets, random src/dst, when you hook a smartbits/ixia up to it" is mine. What's yours? Mind you, this is probably one of the more useless metrics for vendor selection these days, and nobody has a major problem with it. Drive Slow, Paul Wall
