BCM88130

Description

The BCM88130 is equally applicable to the next-generation Carrier Ethernet Switch Router (CESR) and Enterprise Core modular platforms. BCM88130 linear scalability allows end-users to offer a family of platforms using the same fabric design and architecture. Customers can develop these platforms with a common fabric architecture and then target them to both Enterprise and CESR applications with specialized line cards. For CESR applications, the BCM88130 feature set meets the stringent QoS and high-availability requirements demanded by the carriers when offering network wide SLAs to end customers.

For Enterprise Core platforms the high density and scale of the fabric along with the QoS features address the needs of the next-generation core platforms. Complete solutions are offered along with the BCM88130 by providing a family of queuing engines and forwarding engines that offer progammability and high density switching.
