The platform in question is Trident+ based and the official spec sheet from Edge Core is at:  
http://www.edge-core.com/ProdDtl.asp?sno=436&AS5610-52X   Edge Core has other platforms that have the Trident2 ASIC in 
them.

Regardless it should be "pps" not "mbps".  Forwarding (at least with Cumulus Linux*) is done on the ASIC, so is line 
rate for L2/L3.  Will reach out to get the page updated.

it's a t2 chipset.  should be all forwarded at asic level, i.e. at line
rate per port.
