MultiStage Topology
Each link contributes up to 425 MB of bandwidth between chassis.
Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but
greater than that of the mesh topology.
Latency between any two ports is no more than two chassis hops.
52 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports are available for devices.
