Abstract

Force10 Networks commissioned Tolly to evaluate the Resilincy, Advanced Quality-of-Service and Scalability of the Force10 ExaScale E-Series E1200i Core Switch/Router.

Tolly engineers demonstrated failover/recovery scenarios involving critical switch components such as route processing modules and switch fabric modules. Engineers also verified that the switch/router could withstand a Denial-of-Service attack of 50 Gbps of traffic and that the switch could scale to handle more than 1,000 peers and 6.5 million paths.
