How HP FlexFabric is Changing the Rules

Access Switches with IRF, Virtual Connect

Higher performing,

scale and switch/network reliability

Requires fewer layers and platforms—simplified lower cost design

IRF enables a single low latency hop between servers (for L2 and L3)

• Provides complete support for IPv4 and IPv6

• Can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6

• IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4

• IPv6 hosts and IPv4 hosts cannot communicate directly

• Dual stack allows a host to use either IPv4 or IPv6

(22)

• Encapsulates IPv6/IPv4 packets in IPv4/IPv6 headers

• Can be manual or automatic on

• Host (ISATAP)

• additional SW on host

• offloads over endnodes

• Router level (host doesn’t need any change)
