EX8200 Ethernet line card is specifically designed to optimize enterprise applications. It includes either two or four on-board packet forwarding engines - that are equipped with two purpose-built, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), one to perform wire-speed packet processing at line rates, and another to perform internal deep packet queuing and buffering while providing a high-speed interface to the chassis switch fabric. In addition, each line card contains a local processor which provides scalable local control and status processing.
