Abstract
Ethernet is one of the most common methods of networking
computers in a LAN. Ethernet can handle about 10,000,000
bits-per-second and is compatible with almost any kind
of computers. As Ethernet is being considered as the
technology for end-to-end connectivity, service availability
is becoming one of the fundamental requirements. Mission
critical networks demand 24X7 availability, as network
service non-availability will surely lead to loss in
terms of productivity, sales and service.
In this white paper, we discuss various design solutions
to provide fault tolerance and enhance service availability
of an Ethernet switch. It also explains the requirements
of a reliable Ethernet switch, its architecture and
the benefits gained through a fault tolerant Ethernet
solution.
