High Performance

The DGS-6604 4-slot switch provides a switch capacity of up to 576 Gbps and system performance of up to 428.57 Mpps. To make use of this high performance hardware, these switches utilize a distributed switching method where each line card (the port module that directly connects to the network nodes) intelligently determines the switch path for each data packet. The switches synchronize the switching and routing information between the control cards and the line cards to map out the fastest data transfer path. With each line card capable of performing L2/3/4 on-board packet switching without relying on the control cards, the DGS-6600 series switches can deliver very fast packet forwarding at almost zero-wait speed.
