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
