Chapter 1: Features Overview

Specifications

The SSR provides wire-speed switching and full non-blocking throughput. The hardware
provides wire-speed performance regardless of the performance monitoring, filtering, and
Quality of Service (QoS) features enabled by the software. You do not need to accept
performance compromises to run QoS or access control lists (ACLs).
The following table lists the basic hardware and software specifications for the SSR.
