Could we expect to support a second gig ethernet interface? So many questions!
not at full bw; i believe this exceeds backplane bw.
Perhaps you are thinking of the 75xx? I believe the GSR has a 40 Gbps backplane with something like 5 Gbps per slot. More than enough to support a gig-E card at full line rate in each of the slots on the 12008. Of course, whether the CPU, etc. can actually push that much - well, I dunno. Anyone tried it?
