NVIDIA Spectrum MSN3700-CS2F 100GbE Open Ethernet Switch

1. Product Overview

The NVIDIA Spectrum SN3000 series MSN3700-CS2F is a high-performance, 1U Open Ethernet switch designed for modern data center leaf and spine deployments. Built on the Spectrum-2 ASIC, it delivers 6.4Tb/s bidirectional switching capacity, 32x 100GbE QSFP28 ports, and support for multiple open network operating systems. Ideal for cloud, enterprise, and storage environments, this network switch offers flexibility, scalability, and advanced telemetry.

2. Key Characteristics

• 32 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports, splittable to 128 x 10/25GbE
• 6.4Tb/s throughput with 4.76 billion packets per second (Bpps)
• Cut-through latency as low as 425 nanoseconds
• 42MB fully shared packet buffer
• Dual hot-swappable power supplies and N+1 redundant fans
• Support for NVIDIA Onyx, Cumulus Linux, and ONIE-compatible OS

3. Core Technologies

The SN3000 series leverages NVIDIA Spectrum-2 ASIC technology with support for:

• VXLAN routing and bridging
• RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for NVMe over Fabrics
• Hardware-accelerated telemetry (What Just Happened®)
• In-band network telemetry (INT) and streaming telemetry
• Open Ethernet standards including ONIE and SwitchDev

4. Working Principle

The MSN3700-CS2F operates as a high-speed leaf or spine switch using a fully shared packet buffer architecture. It processes traffic in cut-through mode to minimize latency, while the programmable pipeline allows deep packet inspection and editing. The switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with advanced features like ECMP, VXLAN, and NAT.

5. Applications

• Cloud data center leaf/spine networks
• High-performance computing (HPC) and AI/ML clusters
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and storage fabrics
• Enterprise campus and core networking
• Financial services and media streaming networks

6. Specifications

7. Advantages
