Next Generation Terabit Switch/Routers: Transforming Network Architectures
Overview
Ethernet networks are being called upon to deliver unprecedented volumes of increasingly diverse traffic. Real-time application traffic (including VoIP, network storage, and cluster/Grid interconnect) is highly sensitive to latency and jitter. Enterprise data applications, such as ERP and CRM, often require high priority to protect them from packet loss. Other applications, such as network video and data backups, are not very sensitive to latency or packet loss, but are bandwidth intensive.
This paper describes the features that next generation switch/routers must possess if they are to successfully support the evolution of Ethernet as the networking technology of choice for highly scalable, highly reliable, service-aware LANs and MANs. Included in the discussion is a description of some of the key features that make the Force10 E-Series the yardstick against which all other next generation Ethernet switch/routers should be measured.
