I'd take some of these with grain of salt, take EX8200-8XS, PDF Performance if they let flow-control do its thing.Īny pointers why this is, or if there is a solution for microburst I understand that flow-control should prevent loss with microbursts,īut in my customers get adverse effects, with strong negative I can imagine some vendors would say that you need to scale up to aĬhassis if you need deep buffers, but at least one vendor should beĪble to get quite some customers with a 10G deep buffer TOR switch. Is there some (technical) reason for this? There also are deep buffer 1GE aggregation switches.

I am at a loss why there are no 10GE TOR switches with deep buffers.Īpparently there is a need for deep buffers as the vendors make them Juniper EX4500 208KB/10GE (4MB shared per PFE)įorce10 S2410 I can't find it anymore, but it wasn't muchĪrista 7148SX 123KB/10GE (80KB per port plus 5MB dynamic)īrocade BR-MLX-10Gx8-Xđ28MB/10GE (not sure)

TOR switches as cut-through with little buffers, and chassis based I've ben looking at all vendors I can think of and all have the same models. Is there a reason switch vendors 1U TOR 10GE aggregation switches areĪll cut-through and there are no models with deep buffers?
