datasheet has insufficient detail, and yet the switch seems enormously
capable, at least in theory. The kind of numbers under load I've seen
thus far (ranging from .9ms to 170ms) suggest port starvation.<br>

</div></blockquote><div><br>In looking over an earlier datasheet, for an earlier revision of this switch chip, the details for possibly enabling port mirroring (so as to be able to look at streams using an external monitoring box), as well as twiddling with fair queuing (to address the port starvation issue) are there, in sections 8.10, and 8.13.<br>

<br>I'm happy. Nothing left to do but code it up and see what happens.<br>That's the fun part.<br><br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
