Product Overview Switching Technology Comparison Centralized Switching Catalyst 4500 • Dumb Line Card without capabilities to determine switching path • All traffics MUST be processed by “Control Module” • Switching performance relies on “Control Module” • Packets always be transmitted back and forth between Control Module and Line Cards V. S Distributed Switching • Intelligent Line Card with capability to determine switching path • Synchronized switch/route information on Control Card and Line Card • Layer 2/3/4 Local on board switching capability • Fastest forwarding, near zero-wait

Product Overview Drawback of Centralized Switching 1 All traffics MUST go through control card even traffic in/out on the same line card. Control Card 2 Route and VLAN forwarding information are stored in control card. Before sending packets, dumb line card needs to ask control card 3 Line Card Ports Poor performance is resulted from waiting transmit permit while sending packets Line Card Ports

Product Overview Distributed Switching on DGS-6600 • Distributed switching architecture – DGS-6600 consists of chassis, Control Module, and I/O modules. – Control Module and I/O modules comprise – ASIC for switching functions – CPU for management and module control – Synchronized switch/route information on Control Modules and I/O modules. – Switch/route information on I/O modules is periodically updated from the Control Module. – L 2/L 3/L 4 ACL/Qo.
