PIC Resiliency: Improved performance of small packets

The line cards provide improved performance of small packets (with a minimum packet size of 64 bytes) in transmit direction. To enable this feature, reduce the number of active ports (at the PIC level) to the following maximum numbers:

• Sixteen 10-Gbps ports
• Four 40-Gbps ports
• Two 100-Gbps ports (when the line card is in 240-Gbps mode)
• Three 100-Gbps ports (when the line card is in 400-Gbps mode)

To configure the number of active ports, use the existing command set chassis fpc slot pic slot number-of-ports number-of-active-ports.
