The NETGEAR 8800 Series Chassis solution simplifies network infrastructures with purpose-built core, aggregation, & intelligent edge modules. Local Switching on every I/O module & 48 Gbps per slot bidirectional bandwidth provide high-density, line-rate connectivity. Redundant, load-sharing power supplies, as well as redundant cooling fans, contribute to a robust hardware system that is highly available. Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) provides quick recovery from link failure & delivers consistent failover. The NETGEAR OS runs each protocol, such as OSPF or Spanning Tree, as a separate process that is protected from other processes. This preemptive multitasking increases system integrity & inherently protects against Denial of Service (Do S) attacks.
