Brian, Yes, Nexabit claims their fabric delivers 6.4Tb/s of capacity, but if you examine the line-card interface configurations, you can't get there today. For example, they claim 192 ports of OC-3, which is only 30Gb/s full-duplex (or 60 Gb/s in marketing lingo) or 64xOC-48 and 16xOC-192, which comes out at about 307 Gb/s in total. Quite respectable bandwidth numbers, but not quite 6.4Tb/s, so we'll have to wait and see if they can really scale that far. I believe their brochure talks about doing 16 ports of OC-3072 to get into the multi-terabit range. But, since OC-3072 isn't anywhere near a reality, we'll just have to take their word for it...
