Introduction to XRN Technology: A New Direction for Enterprise Networking

Tags:
network design

Overview This white paper discusses the XRN technology in detail. It describes the XRN technology as an innovative technology that allows network architects to build highly available, scalable network cores with performance, control and scalability that grow with the network, without the physical limitations of a single centralized core device. It also states that multiple switches using this technology can be distributed across the campus to protect against environmental failure in any one part of the network.
