I do not understand this! [erik] That is because I am an idiot =) 1000Mb/s ports take 2 MEs for rx and 1 ME for tx. The 4 10/100Mb/s ports take 1 me for each. So, you should be able to support 2 Gb/s ports, or 16 10/100Mb/s ports, or 8 10/100Mb/s ports plus 1 Gb/s port. Does that make more sense? When you say ingress ACE microblock, do you in fact mean the EthernetIngress macro? (e.g., SlowIngress macro). [erik] Yes. A microblock is really just two macros, and initialization a macro and a "processing" macro. Erik ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erik J.
