Description:
PathBuilder S700 STX Switching Module
Key Features of the STX Module:
The STX module includes a switching fabric that provides sophisticated traffic management priority queuing and multicasting. Once an application module SARs its traffic into ATM cells the STX receives the cells and performs address lookup for switching queuing traffic shaping traffic policing early packet discard and multicasting.
Manufactured by: 3COM
Model/Part : 3C63416
Device Type: Switch
Enclosure Type: Plug-in module

STX module features:
Any-to-any port switching
Virtual interfaces (VIs) logical UNI ports that provide traffic shaping profiles (127 total VIs allowed: 24 per triple-slot bus (7-9 10-12 13-15 16-18) 15 per slot for slots 5 and 6 1 for MCPU)
Deep buffers for queuing (8000 cells per VI for a total of over 1 million cells buffered per shelf)
Priority queuing in which each VI can be assigned to specific VCs which can be allocated to one of 4 queues
Per VC traffic policing
Multicasting (up to 256 connections with 32 leaves)
Bipolar Timing Source (BITS) timing clock
Per VC statistics
4000 connections per unit
