Well, how does one figure out what exactly is a "hih performance switch"? I've found this an exceedingly hard task. Like the OP posted the Dell 6248 is rated to give more than a fully subscribed backbone capacity. Nor I do not know any good third party test lab nor do I know any switch load testing benchmarks that'd take a switch through its paces. So, how does one go about selecting a good switch?
