Through its advanced ContentAware™ feature set, the StrataSwitch II™ product family supports advanced applications and services, at wire speed, with non-blocking performance. The BCM5646 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 BCM5646-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 II™ Fast Filter Processor (FFP) delivers line rate packet processing to support policy management, VoIP, and firewall applications. 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. SMII / S3MII TBI/GMII TurboGigTM The StrataSwitch™ family supports using the gigabit ports or TurboGig™ in a stacking link mode, giving you tremendous scalability configuring your switching system. The BCM5646 also provides a wide range of choices in levels of manageability and solution costs. For example, the BCM5646 provides a low-cost I2C interface for unmanaged applications, as well as a 33MHz PCI interface for higher management and network service requirements. The flow metering and monitoring of the StrataSwitch II™ enables many new applications and services. ISPs can benefit from the metering capabilities of the StrataSwitch II™, 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.
