Mesh Topology
A mesh topology describes a fabric in which each chassis has at least one port
directly connected to every chassis in the fabric. The mesh fabric shown in
directly connected to every chassis in the fabric. The mesh fabric shown in
has the following characteristics:
■
Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between switches, 400
MB/s in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less
competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.
MB/s in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less
competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.
■
Latency between any two device ports is no more than two chassis hops.
■
20 Fibre Channel ports are available for devices
