Introduction 1 Reliable – Highly integrated, reliable, multifunction (ASIC) devices are used throughout the switch. High performance – Low-latency, high-performance design resulting in a worst-case data-transfer latency of less than two microseconds from any port at peak Fibre Channel performance of 100 MB/sec. The latency may differ when the destination or device is a loop. Automated congestion management – Virtual channels lets the switch use sophisticated congestion management tec
