Abstract

Tolly engineers verified the performance of the HP 10500 Switch Series high-end core routing switches, as well as key features that make the switch family suited to fulfill the requirements and needs for enterprise campus networks.

Tolly engineers selected one HP 10500 switch with eight HP 10500 8-port 40GbE QSFP+ SF Module (JG392A) interface modules to verify that the HP 10500 Switch Series could support 100% Layer 2 line-rate throughput with 64 40GbE ports (2.56Tbps aggregated throughput) using a bidirectional snake traffic topology. Tolly engineers also selected one HP 10500 switch with 48-port 10GbE SFP+ SF Module (JC756A) interface modules to verify that the HP 10500 Switch Series could support 100% line-rate Layer 2, IPv4 and IPv6 throughput with 384 10GbE ports (3.84Tbps aggregated throughput) using a full mesh traffic topology. Advanced features like TRILL and Multicast ARP were also verified by Tolly engineers.
