Omni Switch/Router Distributed Switching Fabric

Omni Switch/Router Fabric Capacity

In a chassis with Omni Switch/Router modules only, each Omni Switch/Router module
provides 2.4 Gbps of switching capacity in full-duplex mode. In a chassis with all Omni
Switch/Router modules, the Omni Switch/Router architecture provides up to a 22 Gbps
distributed switching fabric. As shown in the figure below, an OmniS/R-9 with an MPX and
eight (8) Omni Switch/Router switching modules provides 22 Gbps of switching capacity. An
an OmniS/R-5 with an MPX and four (4) Omni Switch/Router switching modules provides 12
Gbps of switching capacity, while an OmniS/R-3 with an MPX and two (2) Omni
Switch/Router switching modules provides 7 Gbps of switching capacity.
