Abstract

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its XG2000, a fixed 20-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switch designed to aggregate 10GbE switch uplinks from 1 Gb/10 Gb uplink switches or link directly to 10GbE-capable servers as a high-speed interconnect. The XG2000 represents the third-generation of Fujitsu’s Layer 2, non-blocking, single-chip 10GbE solutions.

Engineers measured the zero-loss 10GbE throughput of the XG2000 to determine the capability of the device to scale wire-speed throughput across a large number of servers. Engineers also recorded the latency introduced by the XG2000 when handling the frame sizes ranging from 64 bytes to 16,128-byte Jumbo Frames, as well as two sets of mixed frame sizes. Tests were conducted in July 2007.
