I got bit by that same bug on our 6500's. It is a limit of the card itself and is documented (you really have to look for it though)... This card is based on an 8:1 oversubscription and you can actually rob bandwidth from the other seven ports is one is pushing packets at a high rate.

Of course you can always move to the 6748, and the SUP 720 if you really want throughput. We moved back to the 16 port gig cards so we could up the bandwidth on the 6500.

Hi all :)

I have several routers (7600 family) with this module. I can see there is a limitation as shown in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/routers/ps368/products_confi guration_guide_chapter09186a0080160eb8.html

"The WS-X6148-GE-TX and WS-X6148V-GE-TX switching modules do not support more than 1 Gbps of traffic per EtherChannel."

When I bought this equipment in Cisco, they told us nothing about this limitation (they know that we need etherchannels supporting more than 2-3 Gb)

Is it at last a problem with the switch fabric or more related to the IOS that support it?

Cheers
