E-Guide: Benchmarking Core Switches: Modeling Techniques for Switch Testing
Bottlenecks can lurk inside a high-speed 10 GbE core switch and cause its actual performance to clock in below theoretical maximum. While the solution is to benchmark any of these high-end devices before purchase and deployment, testing core switch performance brings a new set of challenges. This e-guide discusses why using model traffic modeling to benchmark core switches is your best choice and how it can cut major costs.
