Figure 5b: traffic flow diagram for 4108 gl functioning as a gigabit aggregator switch
Figure 5b depicts the traffic flows for the example showing the 4108gl acting as a gigabit
aggregator switch. All traffic localized to the gigabit modules gets switched at wire speed on
the module and never has to traverse the central switch fabric. For inter-module traffic, the
36.6 Gbps multi-path central switching fabric provides adequate throughput for most
applications.
