8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (w/ 32GE expansion feature)
| Technology Territory |
Broadband |
| Technology Brief |
8-port GE Switch is a Single Chip for Layer 2 Switch. To be implemented in Enterprise Backbone to solve the networking bottleneck. Besides, it could be used in the design of back-plan. |
| Application |
Enterprise Backbone Switch & Back-plane |
| Specification |
- 8-Port Single Chip Gigabit Ether Switch IC (Full-duplex GE only)
- 128KB embedded packet memory (SSRAM)
- buffer page size :128B (can fill up 1024 64-byte packets or 84 1522-byte packets)
- Embedded address table size : 4K entries with 2-way hashing
- Two selectable indexing options (1.hash, 2.linear mapping)
- Support 2 priority queues per port based on 802.1p tag or port-pair based priority(with WRR based scheduling algorithms
- Flexible flow control mechanism (can pause a specific port)
- Support Port-trunking with max. 4 trunk groups (2 or 4 ports/group)
- Wire-speed packet forwarding and learning and without HOL blocking
- Port Controller supports re-transmission for 10/100 Ethernet MAC
