`
`l. I am the Office Manager at the lntemet Archive. located in San Francisco,
`California. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge.
`2. The lntemet Archive is a website that provides access to a digital library of
`lntemet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide
`free access to researchers. historians. scholars, and the general public. The lntemet
`Archive has partnered with and receives support from various institutions, including the
`Library ofCongress.
`3. The lntemet Archive has created a service known as the Wayback Machine. The
`Wayback Machine makes it possible to surf more than 450 billion pages stored in the
`Internet Archive's web archive. Visitors to the Wayback Machine can search archives
`by URL (i.e., a website address). If archived records for a URL are available, the visitor
`will be presented with a list of available dates. The visitor may select one of those
`dates, and then begin surfing on an archived version of the Web. The links on the
`archived files, when served by the Wayback Machine, point to other archived files
`(whether HTML pages or images). lfa visitor clicks on a link on an archived page, the
`Wayback Machine will serve the archived file with the closest available date to the page
`upon which the link appeared and was clicked.
`4. The archived data made viewable and browseable by the Wayback Machine is
`compiled using software programs known as crawlers, which surf the Web and
`automatically store copies of web files. preserving these files as they exist at the point of
`time of capture.

`CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch

`
`The 3Com Corebuilder Switch product line has been placed on End of Life Notice.
`Scaling Performance and Managing Growth with the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer
`Switch
`As networks become more complex and performance requirements more demanding, organizations need greater
`ability to manage the evolution of these infrastructures while making them increasingly transparent to users.
`Network managers require the ability to build flexible, scalable, and easily managed network solutions. Users also
`want all their applications, however sophisticated, to be instantly available and extremely responsive. With the
`CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch and Transcend® network management software, these goals are not only
`attainable, but you can build a network that will have the right tools to scale performance and manage growth
`while providing policy services for the first time.
`Evolution of Switched Networks
`The demands of today's networks are changing from a model where 80 percent of traffic remained local with the
`rest going through a backbone to either centralized servers or to some other part of an enterprise network. Today,
`50 percent of traffic remains local with the balance going across workgroups or to the backbone. Also, shared
`media desktop connections are rapidly changing to switched connections to support increased traffic loads. The
`immediate impact of this evolution is primarily felt in the traditional backbone routers that have been deployed to
`segment LANs. With so much more traffic crossing IP subnet and IPX network boundaries, these routers become
`bottlenecks in traffic flows. The reason is that traditional routers were optimized to handle a diverse set of media
`types and speeds, where translation and buffering ability were of paramount importance, not wire-speed throughput
`or low latencies. While some recent entries in the router space are much improved in performance--some reaching
`1 million pps--they have done so at a very high price point.
`The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch--Layer 3 Wire-Speed, Multiprotocol Routing
`Today's LAN infrastructures require a new solution to the problem of forwarding traffic across network
`boundaries. The answer is a new type of networking device. This new device combines the functions of current
`Layer 2 switches and LAN routers while adding features beyond what legacy LAN routers can support. These new
`devices have been referred to as Layer 3 switches, but that label does not fully describe the ability of the
`CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch. This product can route packets at wire speeds across 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
`ports, scaling up to 4 million pps. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch also has low latencies associated with
`Layer 2 switches, typically 15 to 30 microseconds. Plus, the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports
`sophisticated Class of Service (CoS) and Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow different types of traffic to
`have different levels of service--without affecting performance.
`Networks are not all based on Ethernet. FDDI and ATM are popular LAN backbone technologies. ATM was once
`considered the only backbone technology that could be deployed if multimedia applications were to be used.
`Newer technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet have the potential to become the choice of tomorrow's LAN
`backbone infrastructures. Some Gigabit Ethernet switches becoming available support CoS and QoS and,
`combined with massive bandwidth, have the potential to provide service levels adequate for video, voice, and
`multimedia over Ethernet LANs. While not as robust as ATM QoS, it will be available at lower cost and
`complexity. Given this reality, any networking device in consideration for use in backbones must provide a way to
`interconnect these technologies and provide a migration path for those networks that will be changing backbone
`technologies. This is an area where the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch plays very strongly.
`CoreBuilder 3500 Switching Architecture
`What makes the CoreBuilder 3500 product the industry-leading multilayer switch is its unique architecture. The
`switch is built around a third-generation architecture whose key element is the FIRE ASIC. This generation not
`only builds upon advancements in Layer 2, but provides extensive capabilities and wire-speed performance levels
`for Layer 3 routing, multicast forwarding, and user-selectable policy services as well. There is no longer a disparity
`between Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance. True Layer 3 switched topologies can now be built with the control of
`Layer 3 and the performance of Layer 2 with absolutely no compromises.

`
`Flexible Intelligent Routing Engine (FIRE)
`3Com has extended the FIRE programmable ASIC capabilities even further by embedding a processor into the
`silicon. This gives FIRE the performance of an ASIC and makes it extensible as well. Future enhancements, such
`as IP version 6, can be incorporated without a product upgrade or a sacrifice in performance. This future proofing
`is a key consideration when evaluating next-generation switching solutions. See the figures on this page and on
`page 4 for examples of FIRE architecture.
`
`400347c.gif
`
`Fire Architecture
`FIRE introduces Distributed Packet Processing (DPP). With DPP, multiple distributed forwarding engines rapidly
`and independently transfer packets through the system. As a packet travels through the pipeline, the system:
`
`Verifies frame integrity
`Captures statistics for relevant MIBs, including RMON
`Determines VLANs
`Distinguishes bridged and routed frames
`Classifies specific data flows
`Polices data rates on flows and reservations
`Applies filters
`Modifies packet headers if routing or taggin
`Applies priorities
`Transmits the packet
`Within an individual pipeline, several ASICs simultaneously handle multiple frames. This parallelism and
`pipelining bring forwarding performance at Layer 2 and Layer 3 to new levels: wire speed on all ports for unicast,
`multicast, and broadcast traffic.
`All buffering is done on the output because all the necessary checking and updates are complete by the time a
`packet arrives at the output stage. This avoids accessing a packet in memory, one of the most costly operations in
`terms of performance.
`Dynamically Scalable Memory
`The performance potential of advanced LAN switches is built on an intelligently designed memory subsystem.
`With FIRE, a portion of the buffer memory is associated directly with the forwarding engines. As interface
`modules are added with their respective forwarding engines, memory scales accordingly. Memory is not statically
`coupled with the forwarding engines, but is made available to all forwarding engines in the system. This physically
`distributed, yet globally shared memory provides a dramatic increase in performance, especially for multicast
`forwarding. FIRE allocates buffers to the size of received frames and does so dynamically, so large packets get
`large buffers and small packets get small buffers. This uses memory efficiently and increases the system's ability to
`handle large traffic bursts without losing a packet. These dynamically constructed buffers are then allocated in a
`two-level hierarchy, on a per-port basis and a common pool. This arrangement allows FIRE to guarantee a fixed
`amount of buffering for each interface yet handle large bursts of data without depleting resources. The result is
`efficient utilization with outstanding performance.
`Advanced Queuing Mechanisms
`Traditional LAN switches buffer output traffic on a single queue. Traffic was served on a first-in, first-out manner,
`with excess traffic discarded when the queue became full. The larger queue allowance added to latency. These
`characteristics made deploying real-time and multimedia applications very difficult. In response to this, 3Com
`introduced PACE™ technology, which allows for different classes of service over the same Ethernet LAN with
`controls for latency and jitter. The FIRE architecture builds on PACE technology and introduces four levels of
`output queuing for even greater levels of traffic discrimination. Packets associated with real-time flows and
`multimedia are placed on higher-priority queues. Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) services the higher-priority
`queues more frequently, while not starving the lower-priority queues.

`
`Performance scales with system expansion.
`Automatic Flow Classification
`FIRE can instruct its packet pipeline to discriminate among user-specified traffic flows. These network manager-
`defined priority settings are implemented in silicon. This results in decreased latencies, high-priority transmissions,
`and congestion avoidance. AutoClass instructs the pipeline to classify data flows and assign them a queue-based
`priority. The process is media independent, working over all Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM media. AutoClass can
`recognize Data Link Encapsulation such as SNAP types and LLC, as well as protocol types. Unicast, multicast,
`and broadcast traffic can be distinguished, as well as IP UDP, TCP source, destination addresses, and well-known
`ports. Mappings of 802.1p and 802.1Q services are provided as well as default classifiers. To simplify the task of
`traffic classification setup, Transcend network management applications offer simplified configuration of classifiers
`and queuing.
`One example of using AutoClass is prioritizing FTP traffic during large file backups to ensure timely comple-tion.
`Another is wire-speed firewalls, where certain flows are allocated zero bandwidth.
`CoreBuilder 3500 Features
`
`VLANs provide enhanced network performance by isolating broadcast domains. Three basic types of
`VLANs are supported:
`Port-based VLANs are an arbitrary group of ports within a bridge group.
`Protocol-based VLANs are a collection of ports designated as a VLAN interface for packets belonging to a
`specific Layer 3 protocol family.
`Network-based VLANs are a collection of ports designated as a VLAN interface for packets belonging to a
`specified Layer 3 network address.
`IEEE 802.1Q tagging is also supported for interoperability with switches in a multivendor environment. 3Com
`proprietary tagging and Layer 3 address tagging are also supported.
`
`Trunking is a method of aggregating traffic over a group of ports either to form a big pipe between
`switches or a fault-tolerant pipe to another switch. The trunking group is treated as a single Layer 2 pipe
`with respect to spanning tree, filtering, VLAN membership, and so on.
`Traffic control mechanisms are supported to prevent the propagation of certain traffic. Packet filtering
`allows the user to define filters that cause blocking of traffic to or from the designated source or destination
`address or many other criterion. Protocol filtering prevents certain protocols from being processed on
`particular ports. Route filtering defines the prevention of routes from being advertised on selected
`interfaces. This type of filtering is mainly a security feature.
`Multicast packet firewalls limit the rate at which multicast packets are forwarded.
`Internetworking
`As large, flat Layer 2 networks are built for performance and simplicity reasons, it is becoming obvious that Layer
`3 control is necessary. Users are coming full circle again as they realize the issues of Layer 2-only designs:
`broadcast storms, spanning tree topologies making inefficient use of data paths, limited dissimilar network
`connectivity, security, and so on, which forced the use of routers years ago. The reason users tried to reduce the
`amount of routing in networks was their greater latency and slower performance. Today, the CoreBuilder 3500
`MultiLayer Switch is the solution, providing Layer 3 forwarding at the performance levels of Layer 2 switches.
`Networks can still benefit from Layer 2 switches, but a proper network design must balance Layer 2 with the
`control of Layer 3 devices. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports the most common Layer 3 protocols
`in use today:
`
`IP is the protocol most networks are using. Full IP support is incorporated in the CoreBuilder 3500 Layer 3
`switch, including TCP, UDP, RIP, OSPF, DVMRP, and all RFCs defined for routing of IP. Both unicast and
`multicast traffic types are supported. IP version 6 will be supported as well.
`IPX, which is used in NetWare environments, is an important protocol as most networks today have some
`amount of NetWare usage. Although Novell's future direction is toward IP, support of IPX is critical in
`migrating today's networks toward an IP-only model. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports
`IPX RIP, SAP, and all IPX Ethernet encapsulation types.
`AppleTalk version 2 remains ubiquitous in large networks and is critical in supporting migration to the
`IP-only direction Apple Computer is taking. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports AppleTalk
`SNAP, AARP, DDP, RTMP, ZIP, AEP, and NBP.
`Autocast VLANs filter IP multicasts based on IGMP and IP multicast routing packets that are received.
`Multicast traffic will be flooded to ports where IGMP packets have been observed. Multicast packets will
`also be flooded to DVMRP ports to other multicast routers. This is a benefit in applications that stream

`
`video to multiple locations or need to send many copies of large databases to many hosts, such as in
`financial trading floors.
`Policy-based services define the characteristics and criteria for offering different grades of network
`services for certain types of traffic such as file backups, video, and multimedia. The CoreBuilder 3500
`MultiLayer Switch offers a rich set of features for supporting QoS, including multiple output queues,
`AutoClass of traffic types, and WFQ of priority-queued traffic.
`CoreBuilder 3500 Interfaces
`Ethernet
`There are three Ethernet modules for the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch: the 6-port 10/100BASE-TX
`module supports autonegotiation for speed and for half and full duplex; and the 6-port 100BASE-FX (MMF) and
`the 6-port 100BASE-FX (SMF) modules support half and full duplex.
`Gigabit Ethernet
`The single-port Gigabit Ethernet module supports a Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) interface, allowing a
`variety of media type support: 1000BASE-SX (62.5 and 50 micron MMF), 1000BASE-LX (62.5 and 50 micron
`MMF), 1000BASE-LX SMF, and a future 1000BASE-TX transceiver.
`FDDI
`The 6-port FDDI modules support SAS and DAS configurations, plus A, B, S, M port functionality, available with
`either multimode or single-mode fiber ports. FDDI interfaces offer a tremendous advantage in networks that have
`FDDI backbones. They can also be used as a migration tool if the backbone technology is changing to Gigabit
`Ethernet or ATM. (See diagram below.)
`ATM
`The ATM interface modules for the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch enable wire-speed communication
`between virtual segments known as ATM emulated LANs (ELANs). The CoreBuilder 3500 switch can be
`configured with up to two ATM interface modules, each supporting one OC-12c or two OC-3c ports. Multiple
`ELANs can share each physical interface. This layer independence offers unparalleled flexibility since the
`hardware-based router can be plugged directly into any ATM switch in the network without concern for Layer 3
`address changes.
`
`400347e.gif
`
`The CoreBuilder 3500 switch migrates FDDI or ATM to Ethernet backbone.
`Network Management
`The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch will be supported by a combination of embedded SmartAgent®
`software agents and external network management applications. The CoreBuilder software leverages the advanced
`capabilities engineered into the device to provide traditional console-based, Web-based, application-based
`management, and a PCMCIA modem.
`
`Console-based management. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch supports a state-of-the-art console
`interface that allows users to utilize a traditional out-of-band or in-band Command Line Interface (CLI) to
`configure the wide array of software options available.
`Web-based management. The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch also features an embedded Web
`server that provides an advanced GUI to configure consistently the software options commonly found using
`the console interface.
`Applications-based management. Transcend Enterprise Manager for Windows NT and Transcend
`Network Control Services for UNIX supply configuration management, performance monitoring,
`topological mapping, VLAN management, and front-panel status viewing, enhanced by an advanced GUI
`for ease of use.
`The CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch also supports a variety of unique embedded management mechanisms to
`allow users to utilize various methods for nontraditional management.
`
`AutoFocus. This tool combines the advanced feature of RAP with the Transcend network management
`application’s ability to accomplish action on event. AutoFocus allows a user to predefine the outcome of a
`trapped threshold and allows Transcend to set an event into motion automatically. These events, for
`example, can include shutting down a port or assigning an externally attached probe to a specific port.
`Embedded RMON. Groups of RMON-1/RMON-2 within the hardware ASIC architecture allow users the
`freedom of using this technology without regard to performance.
`Roving Analysis Port (RAP). This port allows external RMON/RMON-2 probes, such as the 3Com
`SuperStack® II Enterprise Monitor to monitor traffic on any switched segment. The CoreBuilder 3500

`
`MultiLayer Switch RAP works across multiple CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch systems with any
`type of backbone connection (Fast Ethernet, FDDI, Gigabit Ethernet, or ATM), making it the industry’s
`most powerful roving port capability. RAP is accessible from 3Com’s advanced monitoring applications,
`Transcend Enterprise Manager, Transcend Network Control Services, and Transcend Traffix™ Manager
`software. The combination of RAP, Transcend applications, and a RMON-1/RMON-2 probe is an
`important element in managing and troubleshooting a network. The roving port allows data collection from
`all segments of the network without having to relocate a probe manually.
`3Com Software
`3Com Transcend network management and control solutions consist of Transcend applications as well as
`embedded network-control software. Embedded software built into the CoreBuilder 3500 MultiLayer Switch
`includes:
`
`Service-level policy for bandwidth reservation and prioritizing traffic with CoS and QoS
`Security policy for setting firewalls and filters
`Network operations to provide the tools to set up VLANs, trunking, and multicast policies
`Policy management functions allow for device management, traffic reporting, troubleshooting through RMON-1,
`and analysis through a RAP. Global policy allows for the setting of service-level policy, security policy, and
`network-operations policy across the network, giving you unprecedented control over the network and allowing
`you to manage it as a single, cohesive system. Therefore, with Transcend network management and control
`solutions, you can set global policies via centralized applications that are automatically executed by embedded
`software throughout the network.
