Overview of the SP Switch Router Adapter card
The SP Switch Router Adapter media card is cabled to a connector jack on an SP Switch. This
media card transfers data to/from the SP Switch at 100 MB/s in each direction.
Like other SP Switch Router media interfaces, the SP Switch Router Adapter media card:
– is intelligent, and performs IP-level routing and route look-ups
– provides complete speed-decoupling between the connecting media and the
gigabit/second router switch core
– fully buffers data for input and output queuing; each card has 16MB of high-speed
receive buffer memory and 16MB of high-speed transmit buffers
