5 What is a Switch Fabric? Switch Fabric An interconnected network of switching devices The fabric contains many input and output ports The fabric transports the data from inputs to outputs A fast, concurrent & transparent mechanism to transfer data High-speed, point-to-point links connecting switching devices Many switching devices working in parallel Sophisticated protocols to ensure reliable, ordered delivery of data in accordance with QOS A highly-available network Error detection mechanisms with correction via retry Fabric redundancy for fault tolerance Hot swap/live maintenance and expansion Fundamental Building Block for Networking Equipment
6 What is a Switch Fabric Controller? Switch Fabric To another switching device Fabric interface Switching Device Fabric interface To another switching device Bus interface To CPU or I/O A chip with fabric I/F and bus I/F Connects to other switching devices to form a switch fabric Connects a CPU or I/O subsystem into the fabric Implements the switch fabric protocols
7 Why Switch Fabric is Compelling Equipment Vendors Higher BW More ports/slots Higher-availability Longer distance Time-to-Market Silicon Vendors Corporations More BW for employees Connect remote/mobile users Gain new subscribers E-commerce! Switch Fabric Logical extension of roadmap New revenue streams Higher ASP Enables Next-Generation Equipment and End-Users
8 Switch Fabrics in Current Platforms Nortel Versalar Switch Router 2500 This high performance forwarding is achieved with a scalable, non-blocking switch fabric Cisco MGX8260 Media Gateway The system also provide additional scaling through the use of interchangeable switch fabrics growing the capacities from 5 Gbps to 15 Gbps Lucent CBX500 WAN Switch The CBX500 Multiservice WAN Switch is a high performance cell switch based on crosspoint technology as its core switch fabric Lucent NX64000 Multi-Terabit Switch/Router The NX6400 innovative switch fabric delivers 6.4 Tbps switch capacity per chassis. Next-Generation Platforms Demand More Complex Switch Fabrics
9 Evaluating a Switch Fabric Sufficient Non-blocking Throughput and Port Count? Is It a Complete Solution for High Availability? Transparent fault and error recovery Line card hot swap Live fabric expansion and maintenance Fabric redundancy Does it Preserve Transaction Order? Producer-consumer model Cells/transactions delivered in order, one time only, even if fault or transient error Legacy Support: Can you use same cards and packaging Does your software require modification or augmentation? Is it transparent? Boot, configuration, operation, fault recovery How far does it get you? Chip to chip, board to board, shelf to shelf, box to box Is it available?
10 Conceptual Switch Fabric Model Switching Devices CPU I/O I/O Switch Fabric ASIC Switch Fabric ASIC Switch Fabric ASIC Bus transactions exchange of switch fabric cells Switch Fabric ASIC Switch Fabric ASIC Switch Fabric ASIC CPU I/O I/O 1. Transports data from multiple sources to multiple destinations 2. Increases scalability (bandwidth, I/O ports, distance) 3. Improves reliability/availability (self-healing, fail-over)
