10GbE switch chip yields 24 ports

Requires only 1 W per port and is said to have latency of less than 1 µs

Targeting high-speed Ethernet, a crucial component to meeting ever-increasing internet bandwidth requirements, the 24-port BCM56820 10GbE switch chip yields 240 Gbits of multilayer switching capacity. The IC provides layer 2 VLAN switching and layer 3 routing support including IPv6. Its multistage ContentAware engine supports deep-packet inspection and classification for traffic flow identification and policy application.

The device requires only 1 W per port and is said to have latency of less than 1 µs and fast hardware failover and recovery (
