For the Aruba CX 6400 switch, what does virtual output queueing (VOQ) implement that is different from most typical campus switches?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Aruba CX 6400 switch is a modular switch that supports high-performance and high-density Ethernet switching for campus and data center networks. One of the features that distinguishes the Aruba CX 6400 switch from most typical campus switches is virtual output queueing (VOQ).VOQ is a technique that implements large ingress packet buffers on each port to prevent head-of-line blocking and packet loss due to congestion2.VOQ allows each port to have multiple queues for different output ports and prioritize packets based on their destination and QoS class2.VOQ enables the Aruba CX 6400 switch to achieve high throughput and low latency for various traffic types and scenarios.

Definitely per port ASICs make a difference too!

VOQ uses large ingress packet buffers, right?

I feel like VSX was a separate topic, so I don't think that's the right answer for VOQ.

I practiced a question on buffer sizes before, but I can't recall if VOQ specifically mentioned large buffers.

I think VOQ is more about managing how packets are queued per port, which might tie into the ASICs.

I remember something about VOQ helping with congestion, but I'm not sure if it relates to ingress or egress buffers.

Okay, I've got this. VOQ is different from typical campus switches because it uses per-port ASICs to manage the packet buffers. That's the key distinction.

I remember learning about VOQ in class. I think it has to do with how the switch handles packet buffering, but I can't recall the specifics.

Personally, I'm leaning towards A. Large ingress buffers can absorb traffic bursts and smooth out the flow to the egress ports.

Hmm, I'm going with D. VSX is a feature that allows two switches to act as one, so it could be related to virtual output queueing.
