ASIC

One ASIC within the system is Brocade-designed and provides switching and connectivity
functionality for external N_ports (as an F_port), external loop devices (as an FL_port), or to other
Brocade switches (as an E_port). Each port can operate at 1.0625 Gbps, 2.125 Gbps, 4.25 Gbps,
or 8.5 Gbps.
The ASIC contains the Fibre Channel interface logic, message and buffering queuing logic, the
receive buffer memory for the on-chip ports, and other support logic.
