Switch Architecture
The switches employ a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This
permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
The switches use store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded.
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
These switches include a slot on the rear panel for hot-swappable 10
Gigabit Ethernet modules. (The 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules are not
currently available, but will be supported in the future.)
