What’s the actual topology though? 4500 -> 4200 -> 4550 -> back to 4500?

UW Madison operates some IPerf servers you could try against too, see: https://kb.wisc.edu/uwsysnet/page.php?id=41947
They are on the 4550, it appears, so more data points to be gleaned there.

Kinda, there is a SPF calculation that happens based on src/dst interfaces. It matters which PFE of the switch the port is on (1 hop != switch, it’s actually each PFE hop). Depending on the topology here, things could be going a variety of ways.
