Conceptually, this is interesting, almost appears like SDN-type network. Not enough detail to speak intelligently about it, nor what we are doing here.
I think it would be a disaster for Huawei to put it’s weight behind ‘Open Flow’, we should follow it but perhaps work on our own SDN infrastructure

1. 2T per slot capability
This mean each slot of CE12800 can support 2T interface line card without fabric change. From day 1, the fabric already support 2T per slot capability. This is not bidirectional. It's single direction.
2. 50T per system
We calculate system switching capability by summing of all switch fabric chipset bandwidth. This is bidirectional.
For 12804, we have 6 fabric slot, each slot have 1 fabric chip, the switch capability of each chip is 1.32T. So the total capability of is 1.32T*6*2=15.84T.
For 12808, the capacity is 2 times of 12804, about 32T.
For 12812, the capacity is 3 times of 12804, about 48T.
Considering capacity of control card and other internal use bandwidth, we announce that we support 50T switching capacity for a single chassis.
We plan to provide a bigger chassis in the future.
3. About CE12800 card type
We now provide 48*10GE line card, 24*10GE line card We also provide 24*40GE line card, which can also be used as 4*24*10GE, use special fibre to provide 96 10GE interface.
The above cards will be available to customer in Nov 2012.
During this Interop, we will also show our 8*100GE line card. But this card's delivery plan is later than the above card, Mar, 2013.
Traditionally, when a networking device restarts, all routing peers associated with that device detect the device has gone down and routes from that peer are removed. The session is re-established when the device completes the restart. This transition results in removal and re-insertion of routes, which could spread across multiple routing domains. This was required because of the inability of the restarting device to forward traffic during the reload period. Today, dual processor systems which support Stateful Switch Over (SSO) or In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) can continue to forward traffic while restarting the control plane on the second processor. In this case, route removal and insertion caused by routing protocol restarts is no longer necessary, creating unnecessary routing instabilities, which are detrimental to the overall network performance. Graceful Restart and Non Stop Routing suppress routing changes on peers to SSO-enabled devices during processor switchover events (SSO or ISSU), reducing network instability and downtime

1:4 breakout
The recent launch of Intel’s single chip X540 10GE LAN-on-Motherboard controller is beginning to trigger critical mass in 10GE price drops.
Dell is now offering the Broadcom or Intel X540 options for $ and $ respectively (retail online – no discount).  These options provide 2 x 10GE and 2 x 1GE copper ports for their R620/R720 servers (others soon).  This now puts server access 10GE at under $400 per port with an additional  2 x 1GE for OOB management basically for free, and prices will drop dramatically once volumes for the X540 LOM ramps up (it was just launched in March 2012).  Since these solutions are copper it’s also VERY cost effective to cable the access to 10GE too.
We can use this point effectively in our messaging on the shift towards 10GE and a proof point to highlighting our port density for 10GE server access.

<kd>
While I am a full supporter of SDN, I do not believe that OpenFlow nor OpenStack are relevant to any enterprise network customer.
Huawei should consider carefully, it’s strategy around open flow, all other vendors state some level of support so they can track it’s development, but it is actually dangerous for any vendor to support it fully, as it devalues their core equipment by leveling the playing field, if openflow is successful Huawei and Cisco will start a slow decline to 1 billion dollars, instead of climbing to 100 billion dollars
</kd>
<pan>
I do agree your point. We have not make a decision to support openflow/SDN in switch in the near future.
I think it is just a attributes to show huawei is open. We want to build a ecosystem, No matter be integrated or integrated 3-party vendor. No matter open to application or open to VAS.

Baidu, Inc. (Chinese: 百度; pinyin: Bǎidù, pronounced like BY-doo in English, NASDAQ: BIDU), incorporated on January 18, 2000, is a Chinese web services company headquartered in the Baidu Campus in Haidian District, Beijing, People's Republic of China.[3]
Baidu offers many services, including a Chinese language search engine for websites, audio files, and images. Baidu offers 57 search and community services including Baidu Baike, an online collaboratively-built encyclopedia, and a searchable keyword-based discussion forum.[4] Baidu was established in 2000 by co-founders, Robin Li and Eric Xu. Both of the co-founders are PRC nationals who studied and worked overseas before returning to China. In September 2011, Baidu ranked 6th overall in the Alexa Internet rankings.[5] During Q4 of 2010, it is estimated that there were 4.02 billion search queries in China of which Baidu had a market share of 56.6%. China's internet-search revenue share in second quarter 2011 by Baidu is 76%[6] In December 2007, Baidu became the first Chinese company to be included in the NASDAQ-100 index.[7]
Baidu provides an index of over 740 million web pages, 80 million images, and 10 million multimedia files.[8] Baidu offers multimedia content including MP3 music and movies, and is the first in China to offer Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and personal digital assistant (PDA) based mobile search.
