The Broadcom® BCM88650 series of devices is the
industry's most dense 100G Ethernet switching solution, enabling the scaling of switching platforms to
comprise up to 4,000 100G Ethernet ports.
The BCM88650 device processes a single stream of
200 Gbps traffic, supporting two 100G full-duplex
ports at Layer 2 through Layer 4, with integrated
deep-buffer traffic management capabilities and a
fabric interface. The integration of 1GbE, 10GbE,
40GbE, and 100GbE network interfaces eliminates the
need for additional components and enables dense
systems using several BCM88650 on a line card.
The BCM88650 series is the fifth generation of the
Dune product line devices. Together with the
BCM88750 fabric element (FE) device, it is used to
build a variety of network switch solutions:
• A 200G carrier access switching solution
designed with a single BCM88650 device.
• 25 Tbps core/edge switches with single-stage
fabric for data center, packet transport, or carrier
network applications.
• Multiple, interconnected chassis of different
capacities that use BCM88650 and BCM88750
two-stage fabric to create a scalable core platform, delivering up to 4,000 wire-speed ports of
100GbE or their 40GbE/10GbE equivalents.
The unified infrastructure enables system vendors to
build a single, scalable product line, sharing the same
switching infrastructure, to address a variety of densities and applications.
The BCM88650 packet classification engine is flexible
and micro-code programmable, with built-in support
for Data Center, Carrier, and Metro Ethernet and
transport applications. The large on-chip classification
databases can be further extended off-chip using a
companion dedicated device from NetLogic®.
The BCM88650 traffic manager integrates deep
packet buffers with a distributed scheduling scheme
that allows state-of-the-art hierarchical QOS, transmission scheduling, and flow control. These advanced
scheduling and queuing schemes natively support all
the latest innovations in data center networking, such
as PFC, ETS, QCN, and overlay networks, and allow
per-customer/per-service scheduling in carrier access
and aggregation switches.
