Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Ruckus ICX™ 7850 Switch is designed to meet the challenges of high performance campus and data centers. It delivers non­blocking line-rate performance on all ports concurrently, with a switching capacity up to 6.4 Tbps. It supports the next generation Ethernet speeds with 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet at the aggregation and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet at the core to meet high volume of traffic driving from the edge into the core. It also supports a rich array of routing protocols and delivers a range of high-availability hardware and software features.
