The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 or ERS 8600, previously known as the Passport 8600 or the Accelar 8000, is a modular chassis combination hardware router and switch used in computer networking, designed and manufactured by Avaya.^[3][4][5] The system provided the 10G Ethernet equipment backbone for the 2010 Winter Olympics games, providing service for 15,000 VoIP Phones, 40,000 Ethernet connections and supporting 1.8 million live spectators.^[6][7][8][9] The system is configurable as a 1.440 Terabit Switch cluster using SMLT and R-SMLT protocols, to provide high reliability^[10] cluster failover (normally less than 100 millisecond).^[11]

There are three chassis options; a 3-slot chassis most commonly used for access or distribution / aggregation of switches which has a MTBF of 2,043,676hr., a 6-slot chassis for backbones of low density or high space premium environments with a MTBF of 1,341,171hr., and a 10-slot chassis for high availability and high scalability with a MTBF of 1,341,171hr. The chassis can be configured with one or two CPU modules (either the 8691SF or the newer 8692SF modules) and is normally configured with two or three load balancing power supplies.

At the end of 2010, software version 7.1 integrated the Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA) into the system, thus expanding the capabilities of this product to include network virtualization, cloud computing and IEEE Shortest Path Bridging (IEEE 802.1aq).^[12][13] The system provides connectivity for up to 48 ports, using 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 100/10 Megabit Ethernet, or Packet over SONET/SDH

History

Origins

The system was originally designed by a company called Rapid City Communications back in 1996. The original system was called an Accelar 1000 series.^[14] The main advantage of this product over others was the ASICs on the modules allows the switching and routing of packets to take place on the ASIC chips within each module instead of forwarding them to a central processing unit (CPU).

Bay Networks

In June 1997 Bay Networks agreed to acquire Rapid City Communications for $155 million in stock.^[15] After Bay Networks was acquired, Nortel Networks renamed the Accelar to the Passport.^[16]
