Broadcom BCM99450 Jericho4 Ethernet Switch Routers

Broadcom BCM99450 Jericho4 Ethernet Switch Routers are purpose-built for distributed artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure designed to interconnect more than 1 million XPUs across multiple datacenters. Each Jericho4 switch router features 51.2Tb/s forwarding capacity, making the series ideal for high-bandwidth, secure, and lossless transport across regional distances. A single Jericho4 system scales to 36,000 HyperPorts, each operating at 3.2Tb/s with deep buffering, line-rate MACsec, and RoCE transport over 100km+ distances. Broadcom 3.2T HyperPort technology consolidates four 800GE links into a single logical port, eliminating load-balancing inefficiencies, boosting utilization by up to 70%, and streamlining traffic flow across large fabrics.
