New Fast Ethernet Solution Delivers 30 Million Packets-per-Second
Using the SmartSwitch 9000's Distributed Architecture
Cabletron Systems (NYSE:CS) today announced the availability of
the 9H533-24 Fast Ethernet module for the SmartSwitch 9000 platform,
delivering 2.2 million packets-per-second (pps) of on-module switch
forwarding performance to meet the requirements of high-density

The 9H533-24 provides 24 10/100 switched Fast Ethernet ports via
two RJ-21 Telco interfaces, enabling flexible connectivity options in
the wiring closet. This new solution connects to the high-capacity
backplane of the 9000 to provide a total system bandwidth of 46.2
Gigabits per second (Gbps), and utilizes the SmartSwitch 9000's
distributed architecture to deliver more than 30 million pps of
aggregate switching performance in a fully loaded chassis.
"The SmartSwitch 9000 is one of the most mature switching
platforms available today, allowing customers to easily add features,
performance and connectivity options," said Patti Angers, product
marketing manager at Cabletron Systems. "This new module enables
SmartSwitch 9000 customers to deploy new Fast Ethernet connectivity
and utilize Quality of Service, traffic control, and policy and
directory features."
The 9H533-24 builds upon the advanced features of the SmartSwitch
9000, including Inbound Rate Limiting (IRL), which allows network
administrators to provision bandwidth for high-priority applications,
delivering Quality of Service across enterprise networks.
The 9H533-24 also offers features such as SNMP management, RMON
management (9 groups), and supports industry standards such as 802.1q
VLAN, 802.1p class of service and 802.3x flow control. In addition,
the new module is fully manageable from Cabletron's SPECTRUM
management platform, as well as other standard SNMP-based management
applications.
