feature set
I
• Line rate switching on all ports for:
• Layer 2 switching
• All FFP actions — steering, forwarding, reclassifying
• Examines up to the 80th byte of a packet
• Supports TOS and DiffServ field modification
• Bandwidth regulation and monitoring per network flow
• Network data flow tracking granular to 1 Mbps

TurboGigTM
The BCM5626, with a forwarding rate of 8.9 Mpps, defines the
next generation of performance for 48-port Fast Ethernet
switching solutions. Through its advanced ContentAware™
feature set, the StrataSwitch IITM product family supports
advanced applications and services, at wire speed, with nonblocking performance.
The BCM5626 uses 60 million transistors and 1 MB of internal
memory to integrate the functionality of large 48-port board
designs into two chips. This level of integration allows the
BCM5626-based switch to sustain line rate on all 48 Fast
Ethernet and 2-Gigabit Ethernet ports for Layer 2 and all L2–L7
processing applications.
The StrataSwitch IITM Fast Filter Processor (FFP) delivers line
rate packet processing to support policy management, VoIP, and
firewall applications.

TurboGigTM
The StrataSwitchTM family supports using the gigabit ports or
TurboGigTM in a stacking link mode, giving you tremendous
scalability configuring your switching system.
The BCM5626 also provides a wide range of choices in levels of
manageability and solution costs. For example, the BCM5626
provides a low-cost I2C interface for unmanaged applications, as
well as a 33/50-MHz PCI interface for higher management and
network service requirements.
The flow metering and monitoring of the StrataSwitch IITM
enables many new applications and services. ISPs can benefit
from the metering capabilities of the StrataSwitch IITM,
eliminating unregulated bandwidth from over-consuming their
network. Using the monitoring features of the FFP, IT managers
can gain tremendous insight to the utilization of their current
network resources and optimize those resources accordingly.
The data packet memory can be extended from 4 MB to 64 MB
using commodity SDRAM in either a 128-bit-wide interface or a
64-bit-wide interface.
