  "today announced the FocalPoint FM6000 series of fully integrated
   wire-speed 10G and 40G Ethernet switch chips, which incorporate
   the company's new and innovative Alta high-speed Ethernet switching
   architecture."

.....
  "The FM6000 series devices are based on Fulcrum's Alta switch
   architecture that, in addition to FlexPipe, features flexible 10G
   and 40G Ethernet port logic and third-generation RapidArray
   output-queued shared-memory architecture. Alta-based FocalPoint
   devices achieve unprecedented performance while maintaining low
   cut-through packet latencies of less than 300nS, ..... "
.....
  "FlexPipe allows the functionality of several key logic blocks, such
   as the packet parser and egress frame modification unit, to be
   upgraded to support new data center networking standards or proprietary
   performance-enhancing application tags. With this functionality, switch
   manufacturers can sell switching systems that are field upgradable with
   support for emerging data center interconnect topologies such as TRILL
   and SPB, as well as emerging virtualized networking standards such as
   802.1bg (Edge Virtual Bridging) and 802.1bh (Port Extenders)."

  "There are nine devices in the FM6000 series, each offering
   a different port configuration and total bandwidth, ranging from
   160Gbps to 720Gbps."
