AS7712-32X-EC

100 GbE L3 Switch with SDN Capability

Product Overview

The AS7712-32X-EC is a 32-port 100 GbE QSFP28 switch designed for carrier/enterprise aggregation, data center

top-of-rack/spine and SDN-enabled networks. It is an ideal solution for traditional three-tier aggregation or core and

folded-Clos architectures, serving with a 1:1 non-oversubscription.

The switch runs EdgeCOS, providing traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching functionality, as well as OpenFlow 1.3*,

leveraging Broadcom’s OpenFlow Data Plane Abstraction (OF-DPA*) that delivers the most out of the switching silicon.

By using OF-DPA, EdgeCOS provides more tables, larger table sizes, and a streamlined OpenFlow pipelining,

compared to legacy OpenVswitch-based software solutions.

AS7712-32X-EC Product Specifications www.edge-core.com Highlights OF-DPA OF-DPA is Broadcom’s new OpenFlow 1.3 implementation for data center and carrier switches. Open Vswitch Based OF-DPA 1.0 on AS7712-32X-EC Earlier implementations based on OpenVswitch were not able to leverage the full capacity of the switching ASIC. The OpenVswitch design did not set boundaries on how tables can be used.
