Table 1 identifies a competitive matrix with other switch vendors.  The key benefits of the Passport 1424T is 

defined by three main messages; Performance, Simplicity and Flexibility.  
 

• Wire speed routing  
• Non-blocking architecture  
• 4 hardware priority queues; 802.1p 
and DiffServ  

• SNMP and web management  
• Advanced IPMC features  
• Packet filtering  
• VLAN support  

• Auto Polarity and sensing  
• GBIC support  
• Multiple gigabit fiber uplink ports  
• MLT support  

 
Application based performance is provided by a wire speed non-blocking architecture. Wire speed routing 
means no delays in routing packets to their destinations. Applications like VOIP and live video streams cannot 
tolerate large delays or lost packets. A non-blocking architecture allows all ports to be active in full duplex
