Forwarding Paradigm 
The Enterasys S-Series chassis utilize both fabric-based point-to-point and fabric-less meshed forwarding architectures. The S1A, S4, S6, 
and S8 chassis use a fabric-based forwarding architecture that provides multiple high bandwidth data paths between I/O modules, while 
the S3 chassis provides a high performance, fabric-less meshed forwarding architecture ideally suited for highly available network edge 
wiring closet deployments. All chassis are optimized for redundant high performance switching and routing as well as providing flexible 
connectivity and the ability to add features and scale performance as required and as new technologies become available.
I/O fabric modules provide scalable, high performance data paths as well as a full complement of front panel interfaces with flexible 
modular interface options. A single I/O fabric may be used in either an S1A, S4, S6, or an S8 chassis, however, the use of two I/O fabrics 
creates a load sharing fabric pair that provides up to 2560 Gbps switching capacity and adds high-availability features. The S8 and S6 
chassis augments the load sharing fabric pair by allowing the addition of a third I/O fabric module, increasing the system reliability and 
performance in the unlikely event of an I/O fabric failure. An S8 or S6 system with two I/O fabrics installed will gracefully reduce the 
fabric switching capacity by 50 percent, in the event of an I/O fabric failure, however, when a third I/O fabric is installed, the system will 
maintain a full 2560 Gbps of switching performance. The load sharing fabric architecture ensures the highest availability and performance 
for the most demanding and mission-critical networks.
