Abstract

Mellanox commissioned Tolly to benchmark the 40 Gigabit Ethernet performance of the Mellanox SwitchX-2 ASIC, implemented in the Mellanox SX1036 switch and compare that to the performance of the Broadcom StrataXGS Trident II ASIC, implemented in the Arista Networks DCS-7050QX switch. The Mellanox solution delivered 40GbE wire-speed layer 2 performance with zero frame loss at all frame sizes tested in tests of up to 36 ports.
