Hello SUN gods,

I was told by a SUN rep that you needed 100Mhz worth of processor for each
Ethernet port in use on a qfe card.  In other words, if you wanted to use
all 4 Ethernet ports you needed to have 400Mhz worth of processor.  I have
been unable to find any documentation supporting this.  Has anyone ever
heard this before ?  Or can anyone point me to some documentation that might
discuss this.  Is anyone out there running a system using all 4 ports with
less than 400Mhz ?
