Switching Technology Comparison 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 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 Centralized Switching V.S Distributed Switching Catalyst 4500 Product Overview

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

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. –L2/L3/L4 ACL/QoS intelligent switching on I/O modules Distributed Switching on DGS-6600 Product Overview
