Re: VSS and PFC3A

Hi Martin,

I use additional 10GE modules when the client traffic requires it. For
example, 40GE (4 x 10GE ports) between the chassis (using MEC) when each
chassis is connected to blade servers running VMware seems to be
becoming the norm for server farm VSS 6500's.

regards Andy
