4Mpps is pretty slow. The 2948G-L3 has been around since the begining of
2000 and that is capable of 10Mpps. The 3550's are capable of 17Mpps.

17.0 Mpps forwarding rate for 64-byte packets (Catalyst 3550-12G and
3550-12T), 10.1 Mpps forwarding rate for 64-byte packets (Catalyst 3550-48),
6.6 Mpps forwarding rate for 64-byte packets (Catalyst 3550-24, 3550-24-DC,
and 3550-24-FX).

You said Amazing in your post....I do not know if I would say that. I
remember installing Extreme Summit 24 and 48's back in '98 or beginning of
'99 and they were L3 switches. Looks to me like Cisco needed years to catch
up. I think that the Summits did something like 4 million packets per
second. Are the NEW 3550's able to do that?
Don't get me wrong, I like the 3550's and would love to have one for home
playing/studying. Luckily I have a whole bunch at work to practice on.
