Correct, Let's face it, the 6000 is what the 4000 should have been, All
it needed was a little over engineering which Ascend sometimes lacks, I'd
have to disagree that the 10MB ether was the limitation on the the max
amount of chassis in a stack environment, The 4004's just are not built to
try and parse through such broadcast traffic.
I'm also starting to wonder about these Voice Over IP cards for the 4004,
I thought surely these would be designed strictly for the 6000 and not the
4004, It's going to be interesting in seeing how the 4004 is going to
perform in a 100% VOIP scenario.
