WS-X6148A-GE-TX performance question

Thu Sep 10 21:39:30 UTC 2009

There was a good thread on Cisco-nsp regarding this exact subject recently.
My recollection is that both X6148 and X6148A have just 6 1GB ASICs.
Therefore the over subscription rate is 8:1. The biggest difference between
these LC's is that X6148A will support large MTU whereas X6148 will not.
