Hello,
in short:
Backplane capacity indicates how much data can flow between the different modules of the switch. The bus speed of a PC (measured on MHz) can be considered as the equivalent of the backplane in a switch.
The forwarding rate refers to the number of frames per second that a device can transmit/switch.
Switching bandwidth is the actual throughput that is achieved between ports. Take the example below:
Forwarding rate: 1000000 packets per second (pps)
Packet size: 100kb
This amounts to:
Switching bandwidth: 800000000Mbps (1000000 (pps) x 100kb x 8)

Hello,
stacking bandwidth as in stack bandwidth ? It refers to the total amount of available in a stacked configuration. The value Cisco gives is usually the value that is available when the maximum stack members are fully connected to each other...
