The LightStream switch is a powerful ATM switch for local and wide area networks. The Cisco LightStream 1010 is a switch designed for use in either the workgroup or the campus, depending on the nature of the interfaces engaged. The Cisco LightStream 1010 uses a five-slot, modular chassis featuring the option of dual, load-sharing power supplies.

The central slot in the Cisco LightStream 1010 is devoted to a single, field-replaceable ATM switch processor module that supports both the 5 Gbps shared memory and the high-performance RISC processor that provides the central intelligence for the mechanism. The ASP module feature card can also be upgraded in the field, allowing the switch to track changing ATM specifications. The remaining slots support up to four hot-swappable carrier modules, each of which can support up to two hot-swappable port adapter modules for a maximum of eight port adapter modules per switch, supporting a wide variety of desktop, backbone, and wide-area ATM interfaces.

The Cisco LightStream 1010 offers the superiority and depth of functionality required for true ATM production deployment. Advanced traffic management mechanisms allow for the support of current traffic, while also delivering the quality of service guarantees required for the applications of the future.
