IBM 8265: Product Description
The Control Point and Switch (CPSW) module (Feature Code 6501) used in the 8265
switch consists of three cards packaged into a double-slot module:
•
A base card (ATM Switch fabric) that switches cells from one ATM concentration
port to another port or to another output link on the same module.
ATM cell switching is carried out by means of the Switch integrated circuit, made
of two chips acting as a single non-blocking 16-by-16 times 16-bit parallel module,
with an aggregate throughput of 12.8 Gbps full duplex, on a 25 Gbps ATM
backplane.
•
A control point card that houses a high speed Power PC processor where the
control point resides. This card incorporates a PCMCIA card from which the
control point is loaded.
•
A daughter card that fits onto the base card and provides the logical and physical
interface between the control point card and the switch fabric.
