No, 8bits in a byte, 96 terabits would be 12 terabytes/s (ignoring the PPP overheads etc.)
don't feel bad - Cisco themselves make a similar mistake on page 6 of their CRC brochure claiming to have a 40Gbps hard drive for storing software images and dumps.;)
Not sure where Cisco gets 96Terabits from?
72 Chassis with 16 slots of 40Gigabite available - 72x16*40=46080Terabits.
The slot capacity is 40Gigabits, not 80.
Surely they're not marketing their 40Gig slots as full duplex 80Gig throughput slots...
OC768 doesn't do full duplex! So 96 urm - bollocks more like!

Buy shares in power companies. To run 72 chassis to get the bandwidth they're touting needs approximately 1 megawatt of power.
