Starting With StarFabric:The StarFabric Connectivity Guide 13

StarFabric Connectivity in Detail

Developers and application designers refer to StarFabric technology as a switch

fabric because each StarFabric-enabled device connects to any other StarFabric-

enabled device through data paths over a switch fabric that resembles interwoven

threads in a large cloth, as shown in Figure 7.

Connecting StarFabric devices is like weaving a fabric of related links and devices

throughout your topology to build a switched interconnect cloth.
