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?
