 7170 Series | Platform Overview
Programmable Architecture
The 7170 series offers a protocol independent switch architecture with a highly programmable packet pipeline that allows the addition
of new protocols, encapsulation and tunneling features to the packet processor through simple software upgrades without changes to
the underlying hardware. This allows for rapid testing and deployment avoiding costly replacements or major upgrades. A recent
example of a new encapsulation in the data center environment is VXLAN which required new silicon technology, delaying customer
deployments and innovation.

Arista 7170 Series Packet Pipeline Architecture

Match-Action Units
The 7170 series packet processor pipeline consists of identical blocks of hardware stages or Match-Action Units. The Match-Action Units
are generic and can be configured to provide a specific function programmatically. Each Match-Action Unit extracts a match key from a
broad set of fields in the packet header and the application header. The key is used to lookup in the match table resulting in a broad set
of actions and stateful table updates. This architecture results in a configurable data plane with very high throughput, broad range of
packet processing functionality and application visibility.

Flexible and Scalable Resources

Network scalability is directly impacted by a switches forwarding tables. The 7170 Series provide flexibility on how memory resources
are allocated among the different tables and features. The architecture allows for flexible and programmable allocation of available
resources to achieve maximum efficiency for any given customer application. This allows for deployment of the 7170 Series across
traditional use cases with standard scale requirement as well as a wide range of use cases with unique resource requirements.

Application Profiles
The 7170 series with Arista EOS support a rich set of both data plane and control plane features and capabilities with a programmable
SDK that address the deployment in either a leaf or spine role in two-tier networks. Each application profile provides a targeted set of
data plane and control plane features with the feature scale tailored to solve a specific application. Arista and customers can leverage
P4 to define a new forwarding profile for the 7170 packet pipeline, to deliver custom behavior, change lookups performed on the
packets or rapidly develop and test new functionality. This flexibility provided by multiple forwarding profiles written in P4 and
compiled into Arista EOS, addresses multiple real world requirements for scale, advanced telemetry, security and encapsulation and can
be further customized to specific customer use-cases. The Enhanced feature license enables use of specialist profiles.

Some examples of solutions the 7170 Series can enable:

• Network Overlay and Virtualization profile in a bare metal environment offloads network functions such as traffic segmentation or
tunnel encapsulation from virtual servers freeing up compute resources and accelerating applications
• Flexible Routing and Segmentation profile supports a large FIB with provisions for customizations such as remove or change VLAN
tags, modify MPLS labels and implement custom protocols
• Network Security profile supports firewall functionality such as learn and track micro flows and sessions, identify anomalies and take
preventive measures dynamically
• Large Scale Network Address Translation profile to conceal internal networks, allow duplicate address spaces and facilitate IPv4 to
IPv6 migration
• Network and Application Telemetry with flow level visibility, custom application counters, configurable thresholds and alarms,
timestamping and end to end latency
• Large Scale ACL’s with support for stateful ACLs, rule based policies, hierarchical ACLs and conditional filtering for enhanced security
and application performance.
 7170 Series | Use Cases
Intelligent Packet Buffers
The Arista 7170 Series switches offer up to 22 MB of unified packet buffer that is shared dynamically across all ports. The packet buffer
can be allocated programmatically across multiple classes of applications to optimize performance for custom applications along with
standard data center applications designed to avoid congestion from micro-bursts or fan-in packets. Unlike architectures with small per-
port packet memory, or small shared memory pools the 7170 Series use a scheme to allocate memory intelligently based on a
combination of traffic class, queue depth and quality of service policy ensuring fair allocation to all ports. Buffer utilization, occupancy
and thresholds are all visible with Arista LANZ and can be exported to monitoring tools for detailed analysis.

Software Defined Cloud Networks

Arista Software Defined Cloud Networking (SDCN), combines the principles that have made cloud computing the unstoppable force
that it is: automation, self service provisioning, and linear scaling of both performance and economics coupled with the trend in
Software Defined Networking that delivers: network virtualization, custom programmability, simplified architectures, and lower capital
expenditure. This combination creates a best-in-class software foundation for maximizing the value of the network to both the
enterprise and service provider data center. A new architecture for the most mission-critical location within the IT infrastructure that
simplifies management and provisioning, speeds up service delivery, lowers costs and creates opportunities for competitive
differentiation, while putting control and visibility back in the hands of the network and systems administrators.

Smart System Upgrade

Smart System Upgrade is a network application designed to address one of the most complicated and challenging tasks facing data
center administrators - network infrastructure maintenance. Changes to the underlying network infrastructure can affect large numbers
of devices and cause significant outages. SSU provides a fully customizable suite of features that tightly couples data center
infrastructure to technology partners allowing for intelligent insertion and removal, programmable updates to software releases and
open integration with application and infrastructure elements.

CloudVision
CloudVision is a network-wide approach for workload orchestration and workflow automation as a turnkey solution for Cloud
Networking. CloudVision extends the EOS publish subscribe architectural approach across the network for state, topology, monitoring
and visibility. This enables enterprises to move to cloud-class automation without needing any significant internal development.

Advanced Event Management (AEM)

Advanced Event Management (AEM), a sub-system of Arista EOS, is a powerful and flexible tool to automate tasks and customize the
behavior of EOS and the operation of the overall data center switching infrastructure. Simplifying the overall operations, AEM provides
the tools to customize alerts and actions. AEM allows operators to fully utilize the intelligence within EOS to respond to real-time events,
automate routine tasks, and automate actions based on changing network conditions.

AlgoMatch TM
AlgoMatch is a unique Arista innovation for modern cloud networks, combining both software and hardware to enable more flexible
and scalable solutions for access control, policy based forwarding and network telemetry. By combining general purpose memory with
with advanced software algorithms AlgoMatch delivers higher scale, performance and efficiency with lower power and is more cost
effective than traditional solutions. AlgoMatch provides a more efficient packet matching algorithm that in turn enables flow matching
for access control, policy and visibility. The net benefits are a high performance policy engine with both increased functionality and
scale in a cost and power efficient solution.

• AlgoMatch enables IPv4 and IPv6 access control at the same scale
• L4 rule ranges are programmed efficiently without expansion or reduced capacity
• Multiple actions can be performed on a single packet or flow
• User defined filters allow flexible packet classification based on offsets for custom actions
• Supports rich policy with consistent semantics that would exhaust classical resources
