Packet Mesh Architecture

The SmartEdge 600 router implements a grid of cross connections in its
backplane that allows any line card to communicate directly to any other line
card in the chassis. Each line card uses a combination of a Packet Mesh ASIC
(PMA) and Packet Processing ASICs (PPAs) to perform this function.
