Hi, BCE-based cards looks good on paper, but it's firmware is of poor =20 quality compared to BGE-based cards. The BCE-cards could sink 1.48Mpps, but it ftq drops 800Kpps, and the =20 host sees 600Kpps. TX is ~800Kpps (according to sephe). That said, I'm using dot1q vlan trunks on both bce and bge based =20 cards, and it's working well. Regards, Daniel.
