UMMARY AND
ONCLUSION
Businesses are become increasingly reliant on new Web-based applications to automate their businesses and to reach
customers and business partners across intranets, extranets, and the Internet. Network storage, VoIP, and other multimedia
applications are driving the need for much higher LAN connectivity speeds to the desktop.
The Broadcom StrataXGS Switch Architecture enables switch vendors to meet enterprise customers’ high-speed
connectivity needs with modular, integrated components that serve as simple building blocks. The components, with high
port counts and rich feature sets, keep system design and assembly simple, which lowers assembly time and costs, while
providing designers with a high degree of flexibility in the form factors they choose to build and features they choose to
activate. The StrataXGS architecture allows the use of same building blocks for creating different types of systems. It is
backward-compatible with proven StrataSwitch II chip architecture and the Broadcom development API so that components
and expertise can be reused. This hastens a switch vendor’s time to market and lowers resource requirements/costs.
Using combinations of the Broadcom BCM5670 and BCM5671 high-performance switching fabrics and the BCM5690 and
BCM5691 GE switching chips, designers can scale their systems to support hundreds of GE and 10-GE ports, configured
in a variety of form factors to meet the needs of their target applications.
