Figure 18: Rear View of a TX Matrix Router
The routing matrix has two main architectural components, the control plane and the
forwarding plane:
•
The control plane in the routing matrix is formed by the connection of the host
subsystems—TX-CBs in the TX Matrix router and T-CBs in the T640 routers —and the
Routing Engines.
•
The forwarding plane in the routing matrix is formed by the switch fabric—TX-SIBs in
the TX Matrix router and T640-SIBs in the T640 routers—and the Packet Forwarding
Engines.
