Line Rate Non Blocking

There are 2 components required to achieve line rate non blocking performance

Backplane connectivity– To deliver 48 GE of connectivity the traces to the

backplane must provide in excess of this to allow for internal overhead

– E600 / E1200 per slot capacity is 56.25Gbps– Force10 can scale this in the future to over 150Gbps

using the existing backplane and new switch fabrics

Packet Processing– To process enough packets to fill the links the ASIC’s

must be capable of processing the packets– For 48 x GE = 48 x 1,488,095 = 71,428,560Mpps– For 4 x 10GE = 4 x 14,880,952 = 59,523,808Mpss– TeraScale FPCE can process 72Mpps
