including jumbo frames (64 - 9216 bytes)
• ^{Supports wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching}
• ^{Supports eight Classes of Service (CoS)}
• ^{Supports advanced packet flow control:}
• Head of Line Blocking prevention
• Full-duplex flow control (802.3x compatible)
• ContentAware™ network processing per port:
• Line rate deep packet classification
• Supports IEEE802.1p, TOS/DiffServ, rate limiting, policing,
priority tagging, and re-mapping
• Provides hardware support for IP multicasting and IP
multicast replication

• ^{Scalable up to 32 StrataXGS™ modules}
• ^{Supports Port Trunking and mirroring across the}
stack
• ^{Low power ~4 W}
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• Enables system vendors to build scalable high-
performance switches with 10 Gigabit Ethernet
support
• Built-in Double Tagging Engine enables the StrataXGS
family of switches to interface with the service provider
VLAN
• Provides hardware support for a number of multicast
applications, such as video and audio conferencing, web
training
• Multiple CoSs 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
re-use 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 Multi-layer
switching applications targeting the following types of
systems:
• Standalone systems
• Stackable systems
• Modular chassis systems
• High-end server blades
