The Catalyst 6000 Family Supervisor Engines deliver intelligent multilayer switching and network management; these engines also support two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-based Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for increased port density and cost effectiveness. The Supervisor Engine 1A utilizes ASIC technology to provide enhanced quality of service (QoS) to enable end-to-end support for mission-critical traffic. This Supervisor Engine IA delivers advanced intelligent switching providing per-port application recognition, admission control, prioritization and policing with multiple hardware queues to minimize network congestion and packet latency. This advanced QoS support is essential for enabling network-wide deployment of mission-critical applications and enterprise voice services and solutions.
