3750 Switches

Anyone have experience with these? I have read that the GB throughput on each port is not for each port simultaneously, but a shared 1Gbps for every 8 ports. First 8 ports have 1Gbps of throughput, next 8 ports share 1Gb throughput and so forth.............Surely this isn't correct?

    Where did you even read that

    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    May be true since the spec for it is only 32-Gbps switching fabric. What happens if you have 48 ports which seems over committed. I guess we would have to know the switching speed of the LSIC chips of which there is only one every 8 ports.

    Thanks, will read it over the next few days. Never heard about this before.

    I believe the 48 Port versions are on a 40Gb backplane

    I know the 3750G 24 port version is on a 40Gb backplane.

    The 3750G's had a 32Gbps switching fabric (48-port version is 1.625:1 over-subscription).

    For northbound traffic all ports on the switch share the 1Gbps uplinks so again you're looking at over-subscription of somewhere between 6:1 and 12:1. If you have one of those weird ones with the 10GB Xenpack uplink those were 1.25:1 oversubscribed (8Gbps max) as well.
