(NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :VTSS VTSS Vehicle Theft Security System VTSS Vancouver Technical Secondary School ), the market leader in Gigabit Ethernet ICs, today announced the production availability of its Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet product family the VSC VSC Vehicle Stability Control VSC Vermont State Colleges (Waterbury, Vermont) VSC Vessel Safety Check (USCG Auxilliary) VSC Vehicle Skid Control VSC Vermont Service Center 737x, further extending its leadership in the managed, Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switching market. The VSC737x family consists of three products offering 16-port, 24-port, and 26-port configurations known as the VSC7372, VSC7374, and VSC7376, respectively. All three Gigabit Ethernet switches are non-blocking with advanced Quality of Service (QoS), and offer network security and management to maximize network performance, utilization, and efficiency. The VSC737x family has fully-integrated SerDes/SGMII interfaces and associated memory, tables, and forwarding logic. This balance of features and configuration makes these devices ideal for embedded applications such as Gigabit Ethernet backplanes, line cards, and Internet Service Provider Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. (ISP) Layer 2 edge pizza-box and chassis systems. Managed LAN switches designed with the VSC737x family can also be used to easily upgrade enterprise networks, providing Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop utilizing the existing cable infrastructure, and thus, increasing the overall network performance with minimal IT spending. "With the production availability of our VSC737x product family, we have extended our leadership in the managed Gigabit Ethernet switching segment," said Martyn Humphries, vice president and general manager of the Ethernet Products Division of Vitesse. "Our switching technology along with our superior Octal PHY technology continues to outpace the industry in delivering the most robust and highly-integrated solutions for the Small-Medium Enterprise (SME). OEM and ODM customers that desire low cost, scalable, Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions for the SME and ISP markets now have a range of solutions to choose from." The key features for VSC737x family include jumbo frame support, link aggregation, flow control, spanning tree, and port-based access control. The VSC737x switches also provide unparalleled QoS features necessary for building cost-effective, Layer 2, managed switch solutions such as programmable multi-layer classification with eight priorities, minimum guaranteed bandwidth allocation, per queue shaping and policing with Committed Info Rate (CIR) and Peak Info Rate (PIR "Parent in room."
