RtBrick, a provider of cloud-native network operating systems, has announced support for the Broadcom Qumran2c+ BCM88840 chipset, delivering a significant performance boost for open routing deployments at the network edge. The new platform, the Ufispace S9610-46DX open switch, triples RtBrick's multiservice edge routing throughput from 2.4 Tbps to 7.2 Tbps in a compact 2RU form-factor, while also providing six 400G network interfaces and forty 100G ports.

Why it matters

RtBrick's disaggregated networking approach allows operators to pair merchant silicon and open hardware with RtBrick's cloud-native routing and switching software, speeding up innovation cycles, improving automation, and reducing operational complexity compared to traditional vertically integrated networking systems.

The details

The Broadcom Q2C+ chipset-powered Ufispace S9610-46DX open switch provides the performance and interface density needed for modern service provider networks, enabling higher-capacity uplinks while preserving dense 100G connectivity for aggregation. RtBrick's routing operating system combines this high-performance silicon with an open networking architecture, allowing operators to deploy scalable, programmable infrastructure.
