Performance
3Com’s custom ASIC architecture
delivers 56 Gbps of multilayer
switching capacity provides wire-
speed performance across all ports,
with a forwarding rate of more than
40 Mpps, minimizing network
congestion. The use of XRN Technology
intelligent forwarding can scale the
performance of two units to 96 Gbps.
