Does anyone have definitive speed results on the 3 "built-in" Gig ports on the NPE-G1? I know that they aren't attached to the PCI Buses, and don't consume bandwidth points, but all of that is mute. Can all three of the ports do line rate Gig? The Gig PA is limited to 400Mbps. I have seen posts that allude to the fact the max throughput on the 3 Gigs are 800Mbps. It's is like a big mystery that cannot be solved. With a "J" M7i, I know I'm going to get line rate per port up to the total forwarding capacity of the FPC. We are trying to create a comparison matrix and any info you have would be great.

The buses are fine for OC3 and below...
