The Need for ZebOS Kunihiro Ishiguro

The advanced architecture of ZebOS® Hardware Integrations maintains modular, portable, L2/L3 hybrid, and adaptive packet handling benefits while supporting distributed forwarding plane for maximum performance and scalability. With the ZebOS platform distributed forwarding plane architecture, L2/3 packet forwarding and switching and routing features across the entire system and a unified management view of the stacked or chassis system based on ports are supported.

The ZebOS platform is designed to support the concept of master/slave instances needed to support a distributed forwarding plane in a stackable or chassis based systems with single point of management. One of the stackable units or chassis processor card is elected as the Master to perform system interconnection discovery, topology management, and dynamic reconfiguration upon system change events.
