Based on a five-slot high-speed backplane, the AmberSwitch workgroup LAN switch ($1995 for eight ports) provides up to 32 ports of switched Ethernet on 10Base-T lines. The packet bus in the AmberSwitch offers sustained throughput of more than 600 Mbps. The distributed packet processors on the modular switch manage local packet memory on each card and connect local network ports to the packet bus at wire speed. The AmberSwitch is from Amber Wave Systems (Acton, MA).
