The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 or ERS 8600, previously known as the Passport 8600 or the Accelar 8000, is a modular chassis combination hardware router and switch used in computer networking. The system, originally designed and manufactured by Nortel, was manufactured by Avaya from 2009 until 2017.[3][4][5] The system provided the 10G Ethernet equipment backbone for the 2010 Winter Olympics games, providing service for 15,000 VoIP Phones, 40,000 Ethernet connections and supporting 1.8 million live spectators.[6] The system is configurable as a 1.440 Terabit Switch cluster using SMLT and R-SMLT protocols, to provide high reliability[7] cluster failover (normally less than 100 millisecond).[8]

There were three chassis options; a 3-slot chassis most commonly used for access or distribution / aggregation of switches which has a MTBF of 2,043,676hr., a 6-slot chassis for backbones of low density or high space premium environments, and a 10-slot chassis for high availability and high scalability. The chassis can be configured with one or two CPU modules and is normally configured with two or three load balancing power supplies.
At the end of 2010, software version 7.1 integrated the Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA) into the system, thus expanding the capabilities of this product to include network virtualization, cloud computing and IEEE Shortest Path Bridging (IEEE 802.1aq).[9][10] The system provides connectivity for up to 48 ports, using 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 100/10 Megabit Ethernet, or Packet over SONET/SDH
