®
MULTILAYER 2-PORT 10 GIGABIT ETHERNET AND HiGig™ SWITCH
FEATURES
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• One 10 Gbps IEEE 802.3ae compliant Ethernet port
• One HiGig™ port configurable for 10 Gbps speed
• Integrated on-chip 512 KB packet buffer memory
• Integrated on-chip layer 2/3 tables
• Supports wire speed switching for all packet sizes, including
jumbo frames (up to 9 KB)
• Supports eight class of service (CoS) queues
• Supports advanced packet flow control:
• Head-of-line blocking prevention
• Full-duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x compatible)
• ContentAware™ network processing per port:
• Line rate deep packet classification
• Supports IEEE 802.1p, ToS/DiffServ, rate limiting, policing,
priority tagging, and re-mapping
• Provides hardware support for IP multicast and IP multicast
replication
• Support for double VLAN tagging with loopback feature
• Support for 128 StrataXGS™ devices using module remapping
• Supports port mirroring across the stack
• Feature parity with BCM5695 multilayer switch
• Low power ~4 W
• Enables system vendors to build scalable high-performance
switches with 10 Gigabit Ethernet support
• Built-in double VLAN tagging enables seamless integration of
enterprise networks and service provider networks.
• Provides hardware support for a number of multicast
applications, such as video and audio conferencing, web
training
• Multiple classes of service (CoS) enable the switch to prioritize
latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP and video
applications
• Built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet/XAUI SerDes, in addition to
integrated data and address memory, reduces overall system
cost and design complexity
• Broadcom Switch API compatibility enables software reuse
and faster time to market
• Small package and low-power enables cost effective and high
performance system design
TARGET APPLICATIONS
• High performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet multilayer switching
applications targeting the following types of systems:
• Stand-alone systems
• Stackable systems
• Modular chassis systems
• High-end server blades
