MSN2100-CB2F: Advanced 100GbE Open Networking Switch

The MSN2100-CB2F represents the cutting edge of data center switching technology from NVIDIA's Spectrum SN2000 Series. This high-performance network switch delivers exceptional throughput and ultra-low latency in a compact 1U form factor. Engineered for modern data center requirements, this SN2000 series switch supports open networking standards, providing unparalleled flexibility and control over network infrastructure. With 16×100GbE QSFP28 ports and 1.6Tb/s switching capacity, this network switch is ideal for demanding enterprise and cloud environments.

Distinguishing Features

• 16×100GbE QSFP28 ports supporting multiple speed configurations (10/25/40/50/100GbE)
• 1.6Tb/s non-blocking switching fabric with 2.38 billion packets per second processing
• Consistent 300ns cut-through latency regardless of packet size
• 16MB fully shared, dynamically allocated packet buffer preventing congestion
• Dual hot-swappable power supplies with 1+1 redundancy for continuous operation
• Support for multiple open network operating systems including Cumulus Linux and SONiC

Core Technology

The MSN2100-CB2F leverages NVIDIA's innovative Spectrum ASIC technology with several advanced capabilities:

• Hardware-accelerated RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for high-performance computing
• Advanced VXLAN routing and bridging with significantly enhanced tunnel capacity
• Comprehensive In-band Network Telemetry (INT) and streaming telemetry features
• Deep packet inspection capabilities up to 512 bytes for enhanced security
• Programmable pipeline architecture enabling custom network functions
• Open Ethernet architecture that eliminates proprietary vendor lock-in

Operational Methodology

This advanced network switch operates using cut-through switching technology, beginning packet forwarding immediately upon reading the destination address. The Spectrum ASIC implements a sophisticated shared packet buffer architecture that dynamically allocates memory resources to ports experiencing congestion, effectively preventing packet loss during traffic spikes. Integrated hardware-based telemetry continuously collects performance data through the innovative What Just Happened? (WJH) technology, delivering unprecedented visibility into network operations and potential issues.
