| | technology & profits - Terabit-scale traffic cops |
 | | "We have terabit equipment that is scalable to petabit levels, so we've developed a switch fabric based on a massive parallel architecture similar to what used to be used in super computing, and applied that into the router space. |
 | | So really, what we've developed is a switch architecture that can scale to over 65,000 ports, and these ports can be either OC-48, OC-192, or once the OC-768 standard becomes a bit more defined, OC-768 ports, as well as Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet," explains Mazzuca. |
 | | I think the capacity requirements for terabit are still a few years off, and a petabit is a thousand terabits, so you do the math," he says. |
