Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The S7700 Smart Routing Switch (S7700 for short) is a high-end smart routing switch designed for next-generation enterprise networks. The S7700 design is based on Huawei's intelligent multi-layer switching technology to provide intelligent service optimization methods, such as MPLS VPN, traffic analysis, comprehensive QoS policies, controllable multicast, load balancing, and security, in addition to high-performance Layer 2 to Layer 3 switching services.
