Supply Broadcom BCM56870A0KFSBG 3.2 Tb/s Programmable Multi-layer Switch

Product Description
BCM56870A0KFSBG support for up to 32 ports of 100GbE,can be used to build highly scalable, low-power, feature-rich Top-of-Rack (ToR), Aggregation and Spine switches. The programmable pipeline allows new features to be added after deployment by means of in-field upgrade, providing capex investment protection for operators. BCM56870A0KFSBG programmability enables the latest, cloud-scale instrumentation and telemetry features, for example in-band telemetry. BCM56870A0KFSBG can also be used to add new software-defined forwarding and database reconfiguration features.

Features
Fully programmable dataplane allows introduction of new features via in-field upgrade
Support for new overlays and tunneling such as GENEVE, NSH, VXLAN, GPE, MPLS, MPLS over GRE/UDP,GUE, ILA and PPPoE
Up to 128x 25G integrated SerDes with CL 74, CL 91 and CL 108 FEC
New instrumentation features such as timestamping, trace captures and Inband Telemetry
32MB of on-chip fully shared packet buffer
Dynamic Load Balancing enhances ECMP
Large, programmable on-chip forwarding databases for L2 switching, L3 routing, label switching, and overlay forwarding
3X increased ACL scale to support evolving policy/security requirements
PCIe Gen3 x4 host CPU interface with on-chip accelerators improves control-plane update and boot performance by up to 5X
Programmable support for enhanced network telemetry, including per-packet timestamping, Flow Tracker, microburst detection, latency/drop monitor, Active-probe-based in-band network telemetry, and in-band OAM processing; integrated with open-source BroadView v2 telemetry agent and analytics software
Adaptive Routing for dynamic traffic engineering in non-Clos topologies
Full feature compatibility with previous generation Trident 2 and Trident 2+ devices
