See switched Ethernet. Designed To Simplify Cooling and Cabling, and Save Central Office Rack Space Continuous Computing  This article about a company does not make it clear whether the subject meets the Wikipedia criteria for . Corp. (CCPU CCPU Continuous Computing Corporation (stock symbol)CCPU Cash Cost Per User (Sprint) CCPU China Criminal Police University CCPU Cryptographic Central Processing Unit ), a leading provider of Voice-over-packet platform solutions for telecom equipment manufacturers, Tuesday announced it is offering the world's first 24+2 Ethernet Switch in a 6U CompactPCI form factor for immediate sale to telecommunications equipment manufacturers. The 24+2 Ethernet Switch is a 26-port non-blocking, fully-managed Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps autosensing, Fast Ethernet ports and two Gigabit GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. ports. The switch provides full-wire speed Layer 2 switching supporting up to 16k MAC address, 256 IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LANs, IP multicasting, full and half duplex flow control, and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.1p/Q Quality of Service. This card enables high-speed communications between elements in CCPU's highly available systems without external hubs that often block airflow. Its vertical, low-power design increases system density, lowers cost, and provides seamless system integration. It can operate in a CompactPCI slot or in an isolated backplane and supports TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and serial management interfaces. Typical uses include high availability carrier-grade Central Office applications such as media gateway controllers, SS7 gateways, and call processing. "Our new CompactPCI Ethernet switch solves three problems crucial to the Central Office," said PJ Go, president of Continuous Computing. "It improves airflow and cooling and helps save expensive Central Office rack space used to compensate for airflow blockage, and it simplifies the error-prone process of cabling from a standard Ethernet switch to other modules in a rack."
