Spirent Communications announced that Huawei selected Spirent TestCenter to verify performance of CE12816, the newest member of its CloudEngine (CE) series of data center switches. This TRILL-based Full Mesh test of 768 ports of 10G Ethernet was conducted at massive scale under the most stressful yet realistic conditions, representing China's high port density 10G Full Mesh test, as well as the largest-scale TRILL-based Full Mesh test. This test verified the CE12816's the TRILL-based networking capability for up to 512 nodes and high forwarding performance.

During the test, the CE12816 was fully configured with 16 high-density 10GE line cards. No packet loss occurred during the line-speed forwarding of 768x10GE ports on the entire switch device.
