SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
•
High level of integration and low power consumption enables
system vendors to build high-performance, high-port-density 10-
Gigabit Ethernet switches in the same form factor as existing GbE
solutions.
•
Built-in, high-speed serial interfaces with integrated memory
eases and accelerates system design, while reducing cost and
conserving board space.
•
Built-in Layer 3 routing support enables embedded switch to
become an extension of the Enterprise Core network.
•
Advanced load balancing and strong user isolation features
facilitate the implementation of utility computing services.
•
Integrated security features and enhanced management
capabilities improve network reliability and lower cost of
ownership for BCM56801-based solutions.
•
Broadcom switch API compatibility enables software reuse and
faster time-to-market.
APPLICATIONS
•
Embedded switch in next-generation 10 GbE Blade Servers
•
10GbE/1GbE switching engine in Advanced TCA Chassis
platforms
•
Multilayer switch in high-density 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches
