The Huawei CloudEngine 6870 Series is a purpose-built Top-of-Rack switching platform targeting high-density AI training and inference infrastructure, GPU interconnect fabrics, and hyperscale data center deployments. Architected around a high-radix forwarding ASIC, the CE6870 delivers non-blocking 25GE server-facing ports combined with 100GE uplink capacity, enabling full bisectional bandwidth across disaggregated GPU node pools. The hardware pipeline supports enhanced Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) with sub-microsecond precision, deep buffer management, and Priority Flow Control (PFC) to achieve the lossless Ethernet transport required by RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) workloads at scale.
