There was an interesting discussion over in one of the Cisco forums on how to calculate your WAN speed. Those of you who read my last post know that packet loss, latency, and bandwidth all play into ...

Microprocessor-based systems are ideal for executing an essentially infinite number of tasks. The host microprocessors support a limited set of instructions that can combine to produce incredibly ...

Traditional approaches to data center networking cannot satisfy the scale, bandwidth, latency and cost points required for evolving data center software architectures. Fibre Channel and InfiniBand ...

Users comparing throughput numbers for PCI Express and PCI-X may find the experience confusing. That’s because the nature of the two architectures makes apples-to-apples comparisons more difficult.

Today's high-speed line cards need to combine software programmability with the performance scalability to aggregate large numbers of granular flows for transport over high-bandwidth back-haul pipes.
