Description As networks become more complex and performance requirements more demanding, organizations need greater ability to manage the evolution of these infrastructures while making them increasingly transparent to users. With the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch and Transcend network management software you can build a network that will have the right tools to scale performance and manage growth while providing policy services for the first time. The CoreBuilder 3500 can route packets at wire speeds across 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, scaling up to 4 million pps. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports sophisticated Class of Service (CoS) and Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow different types of traffic to have different levels of service - without affecting performance. What makes the CoreBuilder 3500 product the industry-leading multilayer switch is its unique architecture. The switch is built around a third-generation architecture whose key element is the FIRE ASIC. This generation not only builds upon advancements in Layer 2, but provides extensive capabilities and wire-speed performance levels for Layer 3 routing, multicast forwarding, and user-selectable policy services as well. There is no longer a disparity between Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance. True Layer 3 switched topologies can now be built with the control of Layer 3 and the performance of Layer 2 with absolutely no compromises.
