Communication Network
The switch of the G4 comprises 16 internal links (four links to each core) and 16 external links. The internal links can transport up to 3.2 Gbit/s (bidirectional) each between core and switch. The external links can transport up to 400 Mbit/s (bidirectional) between the switch and an external unit (possibly the switch of a second node). The switch can route up to 57 Gbit/s.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
