Highly scalable BroadScale

generations of switching experience provides rich features,

scalability, and future-proof solutions.

Optimized for secure-switching and convergence of applications

and services in the networks

Complete IPv6 enabled Layer 2 and Layer 3 switch-on-a-chip

solution for easy and rapid development of multilayer switching

applications

System vendors can build scalable high-performance, high port

density GbE and 10-GbE LAN switches in several form factors.

Optimized features span both enterprise and service-provider

applications.

Multiple CoS and low latency enable the support of VoIP and other

voice, video, and data applications.

Built-in high-speed serial interfaces with Broadcom-unique SerDes

technology ease and accelerate system design, while reducing cost

and conserving board space.

Broadcom switch API compatibility enables software reuse and

faster time-to-market.

Enabled pay as you grow option for all switching features optimizes

flexibility for high-end enterprise and service-provider

applications.
