I'd take some of these with grain of salt, take EX8200-8XS, PDF indeed does agree: --- Total buffer size is 512 MB on each EX8200-8XS 10-Gigabit Ethernet port or each EX8200-40XS port group, and 42 MB on each EX8200-48T and EX8200-48F Gigabit Ethernet port, providing 50-100 ms of bandwidth delay buffering --- However 512MB is about 400ms of buffering, while 512Mb is 50ms. So I think JNPR PDF is just wrong. Similar error may exist for some other quoted numbers. But generally nice list, especially the 10GE fixed config looked realistic, sometimes I wish we'd have 'dpreview' style page for routers and switches, especially now with dozen or more vendors selling 'same' trident+ switch, differentiating them is hard. -- ++ytti
