Product SeriesArista 5000 Series
ArchitectureDistributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) — decoupled spine, fabric, and line-card nodes unified under single EOS control plane
AI Networking TechnologyEtherlink — Arista's AI-optimized Ethernet transport for GPU collective communications
Target Interface Speed800GbE per port (400GbE and 200GbE backward compatible)
Fabric ConnectivityHigh-speed internal fabric interconnect between DDC nodes via 800G or multi-lane optical links
Forwarding ArchitectureNon-blocking Clos fabric with per-destination ECMP and adaptive load balancing across fabric nodes
Buffer ArchitectureDeep Virtual Output Queue (VOQ) buffering per priority class to eliminate head-of-line blocking in all-to-all AI workloads
RDMA SupportRoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet v2) with hardware-accelerated lossless transport
Congestion ManagementDCQCN (Data Center Quantized Congestion Notification), ECN marking, PFC (Priority Flow Control) per-priority
Routing ProtocolsBGP (with BGP-LU, BGP EVPN), IS-IS, OSPFv2/v3, BFD for fast failure detection
Overlay SupportVXLAN, EVPN multi-homing, SR-MPLS, segment routing IPv6 (SRv6)
Management InterfaceseAPI (REST), NETCONF/YANG, OpenConfig, gRPC/gNMI, SNMP v2c/v3, Syslog
TelemetryNanosecond-granularity streaming telemetry via gNMI/gNOI; CloudVision integration for fabric-wide AI flow analytics
Operating SystemArista EOS (Extensible Operating System) — single unified OS image across all DDC nodes
RedundancyN+1 and N+N supervisor redundancy; hitless failover; non-stop forwarding (NSF); distributed fabric node resilience
Power ArchitectureDistributed power shelves per node; hot-swappable PSUs; 48V DC and AC input options
CoolingFront-to-rear airflow per node; hot-swappable fan modules; variable speed control via EOS thermal management
Form FactorDistributed 1U/2U nodes; rack-composable fabric — no centralized chassis midplane
Standards ComplianceIEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1Qbb (PFC), IEEE 802.1Qaz (ETS), RoCEv2 (IETF RFC 5040)
Launch DateQ4 2025
