CE16816 FAQ
Q1: Which interface cards and expansion configurations does the CE16816 support? How compatible is it?
A1: It supports Huawei's full range of 400G/100G/25G interface cards (short-range/long-range, ultra-dense/mixed density). Its 16 slots can be flexibly combined with main control cards, line cards, and power modules, adapting to different expansion needs of ultra-large core networks with 100% compatibility.
Q2: How are the overall switching capacity and forwarding latency performance? Can it support ultra-broadband services?
A2: The overall switching capacity exceeds 38.4Tbps, the bandwidth per line card slot is 2.4Tbps, and the forwarding latency is as low as sub-microseconds. It can easily support ultra-broadband services such as AI training, supercomputing, and massive data synchronization without performance bottlenecks.
Q3: How are the reliability and operation and maintenance guarantees? Will core network maintenance affect services?
A3: The fully redundant architecture has no single point of failure, supports hot-swapping and smooth upgrades, and ensures uninterrupted service during maintenance; when paired with an intelligent operation and maintenance system, it can achieve rapid fault location and automated processing, reducing operation and maintenance risks.
