48 x 1/10/25-Gbps ports IP Fabric for Media Topology Cisco's IP fabric for media solution supports a spine-leaf topology that consists of one spine switch and up to nine leaf switches. The Cisco Nexus 9236C or 9272Q switch can serve as the spine switch. The Cisco Nexus 9236C, 9272Q, and 92160YC-X switches can act as leaf switches.
1024 x 1024 SDI router with HD flows would require a bandwidth equivalent to 1024 x 1.5 Gbps = 1.5 Tbps. Using a Cisco Nexus 9236C switch as the spine switch, the topology would support a bandwidth of 3.6 Tbps, or the equivalent of a 2400 x 2400 SDI router.

Overview of Cisco’s IP Fabric for Media Solution Benefits of the IP Fabric for Media Solution Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS IP Fabric for Media Solution Guide, Release 7.0(3)I4(2)
• For 10-Gbps endpoints, you need to use the Cisco Nexus 92160YC-X leaf switches. • For 40-Gbps endpoints, you can use the Cisco Nexus 9236C or 9272Q leaf switches. 3 Determine the number of leaf switches required based on the number of endpoints and uplinks that each leaf switch supports.
Page 16
40 10-Gbps endpoints. • For 30 40-Gbps endpoints, you need two Cisco Nexus 9236C leaf switches because each switch can support up to 25 40-Gbps endpoints or one Cisco Nexus 9272Q leaf switch because each switch can support up to 36 40-Gbps endpoints.
The flow size is configurable and is typically based on the type of video technology used in your broadcasting center. For more information, see Configuring NBM. For example: 3200-Gbps total bandwidth ÷ 1.5-Gbps flow size (for HD video) = 2133 possible flows Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS IP Fabric for Media Solution Guide, Release 7.0(3)I4(2)

• Cisco recommends that you choose the maximum bandwidth per flow. A constant or almost constant bandwidth rate is assumed. If you expect bursts of traffic in your IP fabric, consider reserving this value at a peak rate to prevent congestion.

To configure PTP for media, you should use one of these profiles. The PTP configuration for media is different than the PTP configuration for a non-media network. However, Note you can refer to the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide for more information on PTP. Procedure...
