BCM5673 ETC, BCM5673 Datasheet - Page 2

• Manufacturer Part Number: BCM5673
• Description: 10GIGABIT ETHERNET / HIGIG MULTILAYER SWICH
• Manufacturer: ETC

The BCM5673 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch is a scalable, multi-layer
switch-on-chip member of the StrataXGS family. The BCM5673 is a
dual port switch, which supports a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE802.3ae)
port and a HiGig™ uplink port. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet port can be
used to interface to the XENPAK module via the XAUI interface.
The HiGig uplink expansion port supports explicit priority, port
trunking, and mirroring functions across the stack. The HiGig port can
be used to interconnect up to 32 switching devices, which enable high-
port density switching applications.
The BCM5673 supports VLAN double tagging. The built-in Double
Tagging Engine provides double tagging support to the entire
StrataXGS family of products. The switch can also be used in
loopback mode enabling double tagging support for the Gigabit
Ethernet ports on the BCM5690.

The built-in Fast Filter Processor (FFP) provides ContentAware
network processing. The FFP supports functions such as TOS/DiffServ
mapping, rate limiting , policing, priority tagging, and metering
functions. The enhanced packet classification feature of the FFP
enables cutting edge applications, such as VoIP and firewall.
The BCM5673 provides hardware support for IP multicasting as well
as IP multicast replication. This enables a number of multicast
applications, such as webtraining and audio/video conferencing.
The BCM5673 supports advanced packet flow control, such as head-
of-line blocking prevention and IEEE802.3x compatible full-duplex
control.
