Virtual Output Queue (VOQ)
The QFX10000 switches support a Virtual Output Queue (VOQ)-based architecture designed for very large deployments. VOQ refers to a queue on the egress port that is maintained by the ingress PFE. With VOQ architecture, packets are queued and dropped on ingress during congestion with no head-of-line blocking.
-
Automation
QFX10000 switches support a number of network automation features, including operations and event scripts, automatic rollback, ZTP, and Python scripting. The switches also integrate with VMware NSX, OpenContrail, Puppet, OpenStack, and CloudStack.
-
MPLS
QFX10000 switches support a broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, IPv6 provider edge router (6PE), RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP to allow standards-based network segmentation and virtualization.
-
VXLAN
QFX10000 switches support L2 and in the future L3 gateway services that enable VXLAN-to-VLAN connectivity at any tier of the data center network, from server access to the edge. The QFX10000 switches integrate with VMware NSX through data plane (VXLAN) and control and management plane (OVSDB) protocols to centrally automate and orchestrate the data center network.
