WS-F6700-DFC3B

The Cisco Distributed Forwarding Card 3B (DFC3B), part number WS-F6700-DFC3B, is a high-performance switching accelerator designed to boost the processing power and efficiency of Cisco 6700-series line cards. It enables distributed forwarding of traffic, helping to relieve pressure on the centralised forwarding engine by offloading tasks to the line cards through dedicated resources. This allows for a more scalable network infrastructure without causing unnecessary strain on the core processing units of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series platform.

The WS-F6700-DFC3B supports increased throughput and faster packet processing, making it ideal in high-demand enterprise environments where reliability and speed are of utmost importance. With the ability to support advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, it provides enhanced network scalability by offloading packet processing tasks from the main supervisor engine directly onto the line cards. This distributed architecture significantly improves the overall performance of the switch, supporting high-volume traffic and maintaining low latency and high efficiency.

This distributed forwarding card also enhances the switch's ability to handle advanced IPv4 and IPv6 features, Quality of Service (QoS), and security. Furthermore, the DFC3B supports multiple high-performance applications across both data-intensive and time-sensitive environments, ensuring that your Cisco network infrastructure continues to perform optimally even under heavy loads. By implementing the WS-F6700-DFC3B, you gain the benefit of distributed forwarding capabilities, allowing for more flexible and scalable network deployments.

If you're looking to expand the capabilities of your Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches or want to offload resource-heavy tasks for better network performance, the WS-F6700-DFC3B makes an excellent addition to your hardware ecosystem, enabling both increased speed and scalability.
