Foundry Networks FastIron 400/FastIron Edge 9604 Performance, High-Availability and Voice Quality

Abstract

Foundry Networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate a pair of enterprise-class Layer 2/3 switches: the FastIron 400 switch populated with 32 Gigabit Ethernet ports and the FastIron Edge 9604 with 96 10/100- Mbit/s ports and four Gigabit Ethernet ports. Engineers subjected the Foundry switches to VoIP call quality measurements as well as latency, throughput and high-availability fail-over tests
