8692omSF module
Dual 8692omSF switch fabric modules ( "8692omSF module" (page 68) )
enable a maximum switch bandwidth of 512 Gb/s. Using the Split MultiLink
Trunking (SMLT) protocol in the core, a redundant Metro Ethernet Routing
Switch 8600 with two 8692omSF modules can provide over 1 terabit per
second (Tb/s) of core switching capacity.
