Test highlights

• Delivers 100% line-rate, zero-loss throughput when tested across 140 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports during a Switch Fabric Module failure.
• Maintains all BGP, OSPF and Telnet sessions even when mitigating a 50Gbps Denial-of-Service attack.
• Implements QoS to ensure voice, video, and data traffic types are handled according to policy parameters and with respect to latency sensitivity.
• Scales to support service provider class peers, handling more than 1,000 peers and 6.5 million paths.
