Double Dipping When we moved to two switches, Fore set up and tore down 278 calls per second. Again, the configuration involved eight OC3 ports (four on each switch) communicating in a bidirectional pattern. That's far faster than Cisco's 83 calls or IBM's 99. And when fielding fully meshed traffic on eight OC3 ports, Fore churned through 440 calls per second. Fore was even farther out in front when we moved to four switches, setting up and tearing down 455 calls per second with fully meshed traffic on four OC3 ports (one on each switch). Cisco couldn't complete the four-switch test because of a faulty module; IBM topped out at 162 calls. ================== The above is extract from Data Com lab test. CSCO could not even complete the test, too bad. Also, look at the performance numbers, what a big difference.
