Cisco - BPX 8600 Architecture and Performance

Overview The heart of the BPX 8600 is a crosspoint matrix switching fabric, which is basically a space switching device (a single stage connecting input with output). The crosspoint matrix is an independent subsystem on the BCC card. This paper provides guidelines and limitations on the use of the BCC-3 BPX Controller Card and focuses exclusively on the switching architecture. The BPX switching architecture is based on a crosspoint switch design.
