Packet buffer capacity in a switch is a critical parameter that influences the throughput of a network. Ultra-high-speed switches use Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM)-based buffering, a scarce and expensive resource. Employing an innovative, fully shared architecture, Cisco Silicon One devices extract maximum and predictable performance from the available buffer.
