In a large enterprise campus, IT teams deploy the WS-X6716-10T-3C module in a Catalyst 6500 chassis to aggregate 16 Gigabit Ethernet distribution-layer links into the core. Leveraging the DFC3C distributed forwarding card, this solution delivers line-rate forwarding, hardware-accelerated QoS and ACL enforcement, and seamless scalability. Benefit: eliminates core bottlenecks, reduces latency by 30%, and simplifies network expansion under a single management plane.
A financial services data center integrates the 16-port WS-X6716-10T-3C module with DFC3C into Catalyst 6500 switches at the Rack-1 edge. This provides dedicated 1 Gbps uplinks to 16 VMware ESXi hosts, offloading routing, ACLs, and QoS to hardware. Benefit: boosts east-west VM traffic performance by 25%, lowers CPU utilization on supervisors by 40%, and ensures predictable SLAs for latency-sensitive workloads.
An Internet Service Provider leverages the WS-X6716-10T-3C with DFC3C in Catalyst 6500 routers at the peering edge. It handles 16 customer Gigabit Ethernet circuits with hardware-accelerated MPLS label switching, BGP route policies, and per-flow QoS policing. Benefit: achieves sub-microsecond forwarding, meets strict carrier-grade SLAs, and scales to thousands of routes without supervisor CPU impact.
