Passport 15000 and 20000 switch architecture
241-1501-200 5.2S2
Passport 15000 and 20000 switch architecture uses an input/output buffered
cross bar switching fabric with hardware support for both cell-based and
frame-based services. The fabric is implemented with redundant serial links
to a central 16 bi-directional port fabric module as shown in the figure
"Passport 15000 and 20000 switch architecture" (page 45).
