Clos Architecture, Delivering Non-Blocking Forwarding and High-Speed Transmission Without Packet Loss

All line cards and switch fabric modules adopt the orthogonal architecture. Cross-line card traffic is transmitted to switch fabric modules through orthogonal connectors, with low transmission loss. This greatly reduces signal attenuation and improves service traffic transmission efficiency.

RGOS, a Fully-Decoupled Modular OS, Providing Independent Components and Nonstop Services

Completely decoupled service components, allowing automatic recovery upon component failures and ensuring high availability of the system
Live upgrade of service component functions, ensuring uninterrupted network for online function expansion

High availability

Fault elimination in seconds

Hot patch upgrade

Low CPU usage

Multiple Hardware Protection, Offering Carrier-class Reliability and Ensuring Continuous Operation Without Downtime

Hardware-level Dual Redundancy

Faulty Optical Port Isolation

Dual-boot at the hardware level
Two flash chips used to store boot software to achieve hardware-level boot redundancy, avoiding switch boot failures due to flash chip faults

Fan Connections in In-line Mode and Y-Shaped Airflow, Improving Heat Dissipation and Enhancing System Reliability

Compared with the conventional single fan, fans connected in in-line mode improve the performance by 50% and provide better airflow. Y-shaped airflow design with front and right air inlets and rear air outlets forms a three-dimensional heat dissipation channel, improving heat dissipation efficiency. The airflow of line cards and switch fabric modules is separated from each other, enhancing system reliability.

Supporting SDN, Providing Rapid Deployment and Automated O&M for Campus Networks

Lightweight access control with one-click approval, allowing fast and secure terminal access

Policy migration in the case of terminal mobility, improving network access efficiency

Visual display of network traffic, allowing fast fault location, and realizing rapid production network recovery through automated O&M
