Broadcom's BCM88470 Series, also known as the StrataDNX® Qumran-AX switch series, can help build highly scalable, feature-rich, centralized, fixed or modular aggregation switches to enable cloud-scale networking and Carrier network applications. The BCM88470 devices process up to 300 Gbps traffic, supporting up to 48 full-duplex 10G Ethernet (GE) ports, 16 full-duplex 40GE ports, or 4 full-duplex 100GE ports at Layer 2 through Layer 4 with integrated deep-buffer traffic management capabilities, and a fabric interface.The BCM88470 series is based on the seventh generation of the Dune scalable switching product line.It is used to build a variety of network switch solutions with flexible I/O interfaces, such as Ethernet or OTN.
Feature
- High performance:– 300 Gbps full-duplex switching
- Mesh interface:– SerDes interface for back-to-back connection of two BCM88470 devices
- Flexible network interface:– 1GE, 2.5GE, 10GE, 40GE and 100GE interfaces– Support for a mix of OTN (ODU) and ETH ports on the same device
- Traffic manager:– Deep buffering, GDDR5/DDR4 DRAM-based– Large on-chip buffers– Hierarchical QoS– Programmable, hierarchical scheduling
- Flexible and microcode-programmable packet processor:– Bridging, routing, MPLS, VPLS, L2VPNs, L3VPNs, OAM– Data Center Tunneling Encapsulations including VXLAN, NV-GRE
- Built-in support for data center, carrier and metro Ethernet, and transport applications– Large on-chip tables with off-chip expandability– OAM accelerator engine
- OTN and TDM support:– Dedicated low delay pipe for TDM/OTN traffic– Fixed and predictable latency data path for TDM systems
Applications
