- Vivace Networks' Multiservice IP switches are designed for delivering native Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet and IP services. The Vivace platform, which is already in deployment by a Tier 1 US carrier, uses five custom ASICs to provide deterministic Layer 2 switching and “hard�? QoS with Layer 3 routing at 10 Gbps rates. The system's deep packet processing tracks millions of carrier-defined customer flows and provides service differentiation down to the application layer.
Vivace's flagship Viva5100 switch scales to 320 Gbps of full-duplex switching in half of a 7 foot rack. A multi-chassis system could scale up to 256 customer ports at 10 Gbps. The company is also shipping a Viva1050 model with 16 Gbps of port density and measuring 3 rack units in height.
