10-GbE departmental cluster or server aggregation (option 1—L2 Config.)
Figure 5 shows the 10-GbE departmental cluster or server aggregation. Design goals are as follows:
Less than 600 ns port-to-port latency
Link aggregation of trunk connections: IEEE 802.3ad
No STP uplink failure detection (UFD) to enable redundant paths
