This section documents scaling capabilities of the VOSS platforms.
The scaling and performance information shown in the following tables is provided for the purpose of assisting with network design. It is recommended that network architects and administrators design and manage networks with an appropriate level of network scaling “head room.” The scaling and performance figures provided have been verified using specific network topologies using limited switch configurations. There is no guarantee that the scaling and performance figures shown are applicable to all network topologies and switch configurations and are provided as a realistic estimation only. If you experience scaling and performance characteristics that you feel are sufficiently below what has been documented, contact Extreme Networks technical support for additional assistance.
Note
If your switch uses Advanced Feature Bandwidth Reservation in Full Feature mode, this affects scaling information that is based on the number of available ports. If you enable the boot configuration flag for this feature, remember to deduct the number of reserved ports from the documented scaling maximum. Not all hardware platforms require this feature to provide full feature support. For more information, see VOSS User Guide.
