Today, 10G network devices compete fiercely in the application market, while 100G products emerge secretly because its technical standard has not been formulated officially. Industry insiders believe that application and popularization of 10G networks are only a matter of time. Wu Jipeng, Chief Product Director of Ruijie Networks, also believes that 100G products will be applied commercially within two or three years after the just approved 100Gbps high-speed Ethernet standard proposal is used.

Ruijie takes the lead in 100G applications

Today, when 10G applications just become popular, Ruijie Networks launches the first new generation IPV6 high-end core routing switch designed for the 100G platform. Undoubtedly, Ruijie Networks keeps ahead of other vendors in the industry. In the opinion of Ruijie Networks, the speed of Ethernet will be increasing. Nothing can stop that. Application and popularization of 100G networks are just a matter of time. Anyway, Ruijie Networks has been ready.

Wu Jipeng, Chief Product Director of Ruijie Networks, said that from the viewpoint of evolvement of network technologies and network application development trend, currently there is no official standard for the 100G network technology in the world. The 100Gbps high-speed Ethernet standard proposal has just been approved. However, the standard will not be formed officially until two or three years later. In other words, the true commercial application of 100G products will not be possible until two or three years later. The switch that Ruijie Networks releases this time has a superhigh backplane and outstanding performance. It meets the need of high-density 10G line card required for popularization of 10G applications. Once a 100G standard is established, Ruijie Networks will be able to equip compliant 100G interface line cards on S8600 and S9600. The RG-S8600/9600 switch will have an extended life and higher scalability so that customers' investment can be protected.

In the opinion of Ruijie, 100G networks, the inevitable extension of 10G networks, will surface inevitably after 10G networks become popular gradually. Particularly as "Gigabit to the Desktop" becomes the reality gradually, a large number of 10G products will be deployed in the convergence layer of the network. In this case, a data exchange bottleneck will be formed undoubtedly when the core layer is supported by using a 10G product or bound 10G products. This will create pressing need for 100G network devices. In addition, 100G networks can better meet users' requirements for network security, Quality of Service (QoS), abundant services implementation, etc., which have great significance for service integration, network infrastructure guarantee or even 3G popularization that are always discussed. This arouses people's greater expectation of the performance and advantages of RG-S8600/RG-S9600.

Unveil the mystery of RG-S8600/RG-S9600

RG-S8600 and RG-S9600, the new generation IPV6 high-end core routing switches of Ruijie Networks designed for the 100G platform, not only features superhigh processing capability that supports 100G extension, but also has considerable innovation and improvement in security and reliability that Ruijie Networks is most concerned about. In addition, they have powerful multi-service supporting capability complete with several designs that are more user friendly. Users can build secure, reliable new generation networks by using these two new products.

The RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 series respectively provide up to 3.2T and 9.6T backplane switching capability. The bandwidths of connection between each line card and the backplane are respectively up to 200G and 300G, meeting the wire-speed processing requirements of the 100G interface of each line card. Moreover, each line card supporting wire-speed forwarding of more than 10 10G ports, far more than 4-port 10G capability of mainstream products in the industry, so it can meet requirements of high-speed 10G port of core devices after 10G network becomes popular. When reviewing the history of gigabit popularization, you can find that each line card of the core device providing 8-port or 12-port gigabit is the start of gigabit popularization.

At the same time, in order to meet the requirement for high-speed processing of core devices and large-scale network application, the RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 series make breakthrough in the design of hardware table entry which is most important for the switching device by adopting the distributed table entry in addition to increased bandwidth of the connection between the line card and the backplane. Each ASIC chip can provide several external TCAM chip to expand the capacity of table entry and considerably increase the efficiency of hardware table lookup, avoiding the influence of the table entry capacity and table lookup delay on the performance and application scale of the core device.
 

For the security and reliability design that Ruijie Networks is most concerned about, the two series have the new "plane protection" function in addition to the proven "triple plane separation design" on the RG-S6800E series. The design that integrates plane separation and plane protection can dramatically boost the overall stability protection capability of the system and meet 99.9999% of rigorous requirements for operator environments. More importantly, the RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 series switches adopt the industry leading equipment-level overall security protection system - CSS security system technology for the first time. This ensures that users are provided with such technologies as complete hardware security monitoring, hardware security protection, 10G security module and related hardware tunnel encryption without affecting performance of equipment. Furthermore, the CPU protection technology is available for the hardware to ensure that CPU will never be overloaded. Let's look at the CSS security system. It is the first equipment-level overall security protection system in the industry. It is of great significance for the security protection capability of the core equipment. It fixes the defect of excessively high CPU utilization ratio when the current mainstream core products defend against viruses and attacks.

For the switch oriented to the next generation network applications, the important basis for testing the adaptability of equipment is the ability to support abundant services. RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 employ the distributed service integration design system. Each line card can support a variety of services via hardware in the distributed manner, including IPV6 implementation via hardware, policy-based routing implementation via hardware, tunneling implementation via hardware, traffic monitoring implementation via hardware, etc. Therefore, abundant services can be supported without affecting performance of the overall equipment. Especially in the support of IP, the RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 series support the network protocols Ipv4 and Ipv6, and can flexibly support technologies for transition from IPV4 to IPV6, like dual stack and tunneling technologies. In addition, it has complete support for unicast and multicast of IPV4 and IPV6, such as OSPFv2/v3, RIPng, BGP4/4+, IS-ISv4/v6, and PIM-SM/DM-SSM (v4/v6). Finally, they provide complete support for emerging Internet protocols, like SNMPv3, SNTP/NTP, IGMP V3, PIM-SSM, SYSLOG, IPFIX, and RERAP.

The RG-S8600 series currently provides two models, namely 6-slot RG-S8606 and 10-slot RG-S8610. The RG-S9600 series currently also provides two models, namely 10-slot RG-S9610 and 20-slot RG-S9620, the one with most slots in the industry. RG-S8600 and RG-S9600 employ the high-density port and fully modular design. They support more than ten gigabit modules and 10G modules. The host provides a LCD that can sho
