| Session Number: 603 |
| Session Name: LAN Switch Architectures and Performances |
| Level: 3 |
| Duration: 2 hours |
| Certification: CCNP/CCIE |
| This session provides an overview of switching architectures, focusing on topics such as switching fabrics, switching implementation, and buffering and congestion control mechanisms. After a general discussion of these components, we will provide specific examples of switch architectures by looking in-depth at the architectures of the Catalyst 4000, Catalyst 8540, Catalyst 6000, and Catalyst 5500 families. Finally, we'll discuss the performance of each platform relative to its architecture. |
