N3K-C3524P-10GX Overview The Cisco N3K-C3524P-10GX further extends the leadership of the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series by including the innovative Cisco Algorithm Boost (or Algo Boost) technology. Algo Boost technology, built into the switch application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), allows the Cisco Nexus 3500 platform to achieve exceptional Layer 2 and 3 switching latencies of less than 200 nanoseconds (ns). In addition, Algo Boost offers several innovations in latency, forwarding, and performance visibility capabilities Table 1 shows the Quick Specs.
