Brocade XMR

With rising demands on core infrastructure, the straightforward CAM partitions (that’s Content Addressable Memory for newbs) we used to rely on have become wobbly solutions at best, and head-scratching disasters at worst. As straight IPv4 tables give way to dual stacking with VPN and MPLS provisioning (among other things), the demands on the core have made the static tables of default Foundry Direct Routing (FDR) much less viable. Brocade has been refining its partition profiles for a while, resulting in a granularity that resembles Waikiki Beach.
